(www.ncls.org.au) They have just completed the 2006 National Church Life Survey, which surveyed 400 000 church attenders and 9000 leaders. Her current research project focuses on innovation (or fresh expressions) in church life. This project involves research analysis, as well as gathering stories from practitioners involved in new initiatives. Ruth is a founding member of Glebe Cafe Church, an innovative ministry in the inner city of Sydney.
