Oxford can seem to be a place that meanders along at snail’s pace; dreaming spires, etc.
But dig a little deeper, and you find that Oxford life is hurtling along at a bewildering speed: corners of land morphing overnight into student accommodation, ever-growing pockets of social deprivation, and waves of new arrivals from all over the globe.
So it feels appropriate that God is catapulting one small church in east Oxford forward into not just one but three areas of new life.
