Successful National Conference
We recently attended the "Faith & the Future of the Countryside" Conference at Swanwick in Derbyshire, representing the Rural Evangelism Network. Around 200 people attended, many of whom were senior church leaders. The conference addressed various issues and included a fringe meeting on evangelism which was led by Barry Osborne.
180 copies of the new CD on Tailored Mission Strategies were taken.
Pilot Rural Mission Consultation welcomed
A Consultation arranged at short notice produced a warm welcome among rural church leaders in Norfolk and Suffolk. It is anticipated that three or four similar events will be held in various parts of the country during 2011 under the banner of the Rural Evangelism Network.
Leicester Diocese holds Rural Mission Day
The Diocese of Leicester held a very successful one-day event in the village of Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, attracting around 130 people. The morning consisted of two presentations by the Bishop of Shrewsbury, the Rt Revd Mark Rylands, who drew on his experience as a Diocesan Missioner in Devon.
The afternoon programme contained two seminar sessions with four possibilities. Considerable interest was shown in the Rural Mission Solutions stand, with a large number of those present showing keen interest in the "No Ordinary Man" Project.

Rural Church Planting
During 2009 Barry Osborne led a seminar on Rural Church Planting as part of the Mission21 Conference in Bath. The Powerpoint used is available here with a commentary added but it is a poor substitute for an live and interactive presentation.
