      Stumbling Blocks That Delay Church Transformation Part 5

      May 20, 2022

      In my previous writings I have pointed out that institutionalised Christianity is fading away. Organised religious systems are sucking the life of Christ out of believers. In many cases, believers are busy with the church programme, but not with God.

    Unofficial Chaplain - Warren Crank

    What Others Are Saying About This Book...

    This is a really helpful little book, written by an official chaplain about what it might look like if we all adopted the posture of an unofficial chaplain in the contexts where God has placed us. Pretty cool idea. Very practical and easy to read.

    Michael Frost

    Vice Principal Morling College Sydney, Director of the Tinsley Institute,

    Author Incarnate and The Road to Missional

    Warren Crank nails the simplicity of unofficial chaplaincy—something he’s personally discovered true-blue for our community as a sports chaplain. And it’s for everyone with a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ. Aussies don’t want religion but they do want authentic chaplains. Someone brave enough and close enough to care. I highly recommend you explore Warren’s fresh perspective on informal chaplaincy. He challenges the way we relate to each other.

    Rev. Cameron Butler

    National Director Sports Chaplaincy Australia Inc.

    The Unofficial Chaplain provides a cohesive and refreshing model for living an intentional and missional Christian life in an increasingly secular world. It is practical and inspirational. I recommend it and believe that God will use it to stimulate ministry and mission to people who are outside the church.
