In this week’s episode of The Minister’s Friend, I continue my interview with my dear friend and fellow church planter Fr. Jon Davis. Jon is the Pastor of The Abbey Mission and is the Mission Strategist & Trainer for Fresh Expressions US. We pick up our conversation talking about worship space and what it communicates. Too often, the space distracts from worship rather than wooing worshippers further into God’s presence.
