Abstract
This paper challenges the idea of a distinctly rural mission as helpful to thinking. Fresh Expressions are critiqued, along with the concept of a ‘mixed economy’, as the way forward for mission in rural areas. The complexities of contemporary rural life are addressed. The weakness of much of the rural Church, especially the Free Churches, is considered. Appropriate missional practices, including church planting, are pointed to as part of the future for the Church in rural areas.
