The BlunderBus

Episode One: Andrew Katay and the Crisis of Identity

Edward Vaughan Season 4 Episode 1

If  you are going to be the leader of  national church planting and revitalisation organisation, you'd better have made  a few mistakes along the way! That's why Andrew Katay, CEO of City to City Australia and Rector of Christ Church Inner West Anglican Church  is on The Blunder Bus this week.

Andrew tells us about the time when he was involved in the planting of a new congregation. Which is a great idea, but the blunder was not clarifying the identity of this new church, and not being clear enough about the 'missional reason' for this new venture.

Actually, it's not the only mistake they made! Andrew calls it a 'good humbling' experience. Maybe that's another way of saying 'painful'.

This series is brought to you by City to City Australia, and the 'Revitalise Australia' project. CTCA estimate that there are approximately 3000 Bible based, Gospel centred churches in Australia which are plateaued or declining. 'Revitalise Australia' is an ambitious project to see those churches rediscover life, health and purpose. You can watch a video of City to City founder Tim Keller talking about the 'Revitalise Australia' project here.
