History shows us that it is all too easy to become isolated from culture or seduced by it. Either way faith becomes sterile and genuine Christian spirituality is lost. Steve visited Newbury and spoke on what he believes, as the founder of Faithworks, is the biblical model of spirituality, where intimacy with God and involvement in the community are 'joined up'.
