  • The Role of Review in Church Life
    Feb 21 2025

    Do reviews have a place in church? Are they of benefit? Or are they too managerial for church life?

    We were thrilled to be able to open up this topic with John Truscott, a good friend of The Church Office.

    Listen in as John and Gavin discuss why we often don't like the topic of reviews and consider the benefits. To hear more from John, head over to his website: https://www.john-truscott.co.uk/
