Andrea Campanale is a Church Mission Society 'Mission Partner'. Andrea does some really interesting work among people involved in the new spiritualties. This has caused her to reflect deeply on mission and what it means to be church. Â
“A lot of the time we try and impose what we think or what we expect people to experience rather than just creating an environment where they can experience God for themselves.” - Andrea Campanale

0:00.0 | Nomad, Christian community, mission and the future of the church. |
0:16.2 | Today we're going to go and visit Andrea Campanali. |

0:24.9 | Yeah, we're back in London, and I saw Andrew do a short talk at a Pioneer's Conference recently. |
0:32.1 | And a very interesting story. She's kind of getting into mission in the whole new age pagan new spirituality |
0:39.2 | stuff and doing some pretty radical stuff at new age fairs and things. So I thought that could be |
0:44.4 | interesting. I'm really looking forward to it, especially as a number of the people that we're |
