Gone for good #15 : conclusions
http://outofthecocoon.squarespace.com/main/2008/3/10/gone-for-good-15-conclusions.htmlOver the last two weeks I've been ploughing through the fifteen different reasons why people are leaving the church according to Leslie Francis and Philip Richter's recent book 'Gone for Good'.
