"Natural Church Development always struck me as the most appropriate approach to church growth, being based on principles rather than programmes, and therefore accessible to all traditions and styles." —Christopher Cocksworth, Bishop of Coventry

How does this booklet help you?
The All By Itself Anglican invites you into a 90-minute with Christian A. Schwarz, the founder and head of the Institute for Natural Church Development (NCD). Christian will reduce the discoveries of two decades of research in tens of thousands of churches to a handful of personal action steps. that can be put into practice by any Anglican congregation. While countless churches have implemented individual aspects of Natural Church Development, the majority have yet to discover the strategic key that Christian calls the All By Itself Pathway—consistently living in line with the unique gifts, energies, and resources that God has already granted you and your church.
How can your congregation grow in quality and quantity
regardless of unfavourable circumstances in society?
How can you have the greatest impact on your church
regardless of your level of responsibility?
How can you maximize your fruitfulness in all areas of life
regardless of your present starting point?
