Work, Worship and the Sabbath in a 24/7 culture. There is currently much discussion of the shape and organisation of the Church – postevangelical, alternative, emerging, liquid, virtual… What shape should the Church take in 21st century, 24/7 western culture? Should we abandon Sunday worship and traditional formats, or fight to revive them?
