Synopsis

"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed," Jesus says in the Gospel ofMatthew, "nothing will be impossible for you."That sounds good, but does it work in a world where seeds are geneticallyaltered by an impatient few and hard to come by for countless others? In aworld where the gulf between the very rich and the profoundly poor isconstantly growing, can a mustard-seed faith make any difference? And cansuch a little bit of faith be sustained in a world whose future is so uncertainon so many fronts?Tom Sine says yes, and he has the audacity to try to prove it in his latestbook. In The New Conspirators Tom surveys the landscape ofcreative Christianity, where streams of renewal are flowing freely fromdiverse sources:

  • The emerging church
  • Contemporary monastic movements
  • The missional church
  • The mosaic movement

Individuals and communities of faith are coalescing in, and drawing energyfrom, these four streams to retrofit the church as it leads, serves and giveswitness to the kingdom of God in the turbulent times facing us. Read thebook and you'll want to-and be prepared to-join God's conspiracy tocreate a better future.
