Short Description: What happens when a church situated in the middle of 3 large housing estates on the outskirts of Birmingham dares to lower its protective barricades against the violence and crime all around, and invites the local neighbourhood to come inside?

Jacket Synopsis: What happens when a church drops its barricades against the community? Wallace & Mary Brown decided to do just that - literally. Situated in the middle of 3 large housing estates on the outskirts of Birmingham, with crime & vandalism all around, they stepped out in faith and took down the barbed wire & high walls. Gradually but unmistakably they saw their community begin to turn to Christ for healing & eternal life. With refreshing honesty about the hard times as well as the rewarding times, this is a gripping story of how a small, defensive fellowship became a thriving church able to plant a new congregation in a neighbouring district. 'A fine & inspiring book.' - MICHAEL I. BOCHENSKI, former President of the Baptist Union of Great Britain. 'When people tell their stories as Wallace and Mary have done, we have a rich resource of shared good practice that we can tap into.' - GEORGE CAREY, Archbishop of Canterbury. 'Whatever church you are part of, this book will bring you hope.' - NICK & LOIS CUTHBERT, Riverside Church, Birmingham. WALLACE BROWN is Vicar of St Boniface on the Quinton Estate in Birmingham, and Chair of the Birmingham Diocese Outer Estate Group. He and Mary (a qualified teacher) travel widely to address church leaders of many denominations about the specific challenges of ministry on urban outer estates.
