After the Fire

<p>In the immediate aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire the local parish church became a focal point of the relief effort and a gathering place for a traumatised community. In the months that followed it worked closely with other community and faith groups to provide a compassionate network of support.<br /><br />In this bold and prophetic challenge Alan Everett shows that the church's response was possible only because it had opened its doors long ago building relationships with the most marginalised in the community. Its effectiveness was born out of a patient faithful unheroic ministry that is all too easily underestimated.<br /><br />Through gripping reportage and searching theological reflection After the Fire demonstrates how parish ministry can be a living symbol of God's love and a vital sign of hope.</p>
