Surfing, skateboarding, beanbags. Is this the shape of the church of the future? At the same time as the latest stats from the Office of National Statistics show eight in ten people in Britain have a religious faith and seven in ten are Christian, the Labour party elects an atheist as its leader, meaning two out of the top three party leaders are atheist or agnostic. And if so many people, why aren't more of them in Church, or Synagogue, or Mosque? Ruth Gledhill of The Times talks to Dr Rachel Jordan, evangelism associate for the Archbishops' Council of the Church of England about new approaches to mission. See this video in its context at Ruth's Times blog, Articles of Faith:
