Centre for Pioneer Learning: Recent Episodes
Cambridge University
The Centre for Pioneer Learning aims to serve all pioneers who are establishing new forms of church and taking the church to new places throughout the UK and the world.
Our aim is to establish an environment where pioneers can learn together, be resourced and supported in their pioneering roles. We want to work with you in taking pioneering forward in its scope and effectiveness.
We want to establish training for pioneers by pioneers while also recognising the need to learn from others with skills, insights and experiences which may help pioneers.

Adrian Chatfield speaks on the call of the church to be a church in crisis, called in every age to pioneer the Gospel and re-infect the world with worship of God. Adrian looks at how the instituion can help pioneering and re-infection through the removal of boundaries such as Sunday worship and church buildings, while positively engaging with people at home, at work, in the street and through their calendars.
The session was quite interactive and as a consequence the sound quality is at times poor.
Adrian Chatfield introduces the Free and Rooted conference. Speaking from Philipians 2 he presents a radical image of the church as a self-emptying (kenotic) church. That is a church willing to lose power, presence and knowledge in order to retain love, service and mission.
Dave Male speaks on the interaction between church and culture at the CfPL leadership conference "Free and Rooted" (Nov 2010).
