Digging to find the underground church
I am trying to track down any 'Fresh Expression' Churches, Youth congregations and other experiments in creating Church in new ways in the Oxford Diocese. Examples like HOME or mayBE are very much on the radar but are there others I should know about? (The Diocese covers all of Bucks, Berks and Oxfordshire as well as the Republic of Milton Keynes)

Isn't there a cafe in Sandhurst?
My take on youth and fresh expressions is that often what we've been doing with young people for YEARS seems to be presented as a fresh expression when it's done for adults (i.e. cafe church is often quite like a youth club) so it's harder to find really fresh stuff sometimes.

Yes. Only when you do it with adults it suddenly doesn't seem so cool anymore and you find the teenagers have moved on to something else. :-)
