Re-imagine, remake and relaunch are the big words for September’s new-look Reform.

General Secretary John Bradbury imagines a podcast from 2030 to reveal a thriving Church, and there are detailed updates on the URC’s radical Church Life Review.
Three church leaders share game-changing ways they’ve been exploring to support mission where they are, John Ellis reflects on the pitfalls of wealth for the Church, and Laurence Wareing discovers the gift of fresh food and community at an award-winning food hub in Enfield.
A life-changing accident is at the heart of our Soul Stories this month, and Old Testament scholar Meg Warner joins Abram on a journey where more is at stake than first appears.
Elsewhere, Queen Katherine Parr gets fiery, Hugh Bonneville is silenced, and columnist Paul Kerensa wonders where Richard Osman has gone.
All this and more in the September Reform, published on 25 August.
