We are asking three questions:
What are the key features of the diverse expressions of multivocational ministry in Canada? What are the challenges, and what are the opportunities?
What are the significant biblical and theological emphases to consider?
How can promotion of the opportunities and resourcing of the challenges take place strategically?

TentMakers: Multivocational Ministry in Western Society
Tentmaking is a growing reality in Western society that necessitates more reflection and relevant response from pastoral and mission leaders. The need to consider bivocational or multivocational ministries is catalyzed by established congregations wrestling with decline in attendance, by new immigrant communities looking for sustainable ways to minister, and by misunderstanding or lack of information on the nature of this ministry approach. This need is also triggered by the urgency to address biblical, theological, and pragmatic issues of tentmaking that can forge a way forward for the Canadian church in the midst of an uncertain future.
