Resourcing Churches: A theological and strategic conversation

With Josh Cockayne and Mark Powley

THIS REFLECTION BY DR. NICK Shepherd, Head of Insights and Engagement, Vision and Stragegy Team draws on a conversation between the Revd Dr Josh Cockayne and the Revd Canon Dr Mark Powley at the end of their Resourcing the Church webinar held in November 2025.

Their dialogue offers a rich reflection on the relationship between strategy and theology in the Church of England’s current approaches to mission, particularly through resource churches, planting, and revitalisation.
