Finding the Treasure by Revd Dr Al Barrett is the fruit of two years of ‘deep listening’ in five different estate neighbourhoods across England. The Church of England’s ‘Estates Theology Project’ brought together local ministers and academic theologians to listen attentively to the voices of estates residents describing what they love about their neighbourhoods, what brings them joy as well as grief, and what hope and good news looks like for them.

Finding the Treasure is rooted in the real-life contexts of these local communities, rich in theological insights, and bold in the challenges it presents to the wider Church. Rev Dr Al Barrett offers inspiration and practical guidance for readers to engage in similar deep listening within their own local communities, and in areas, and from churches, that have all too often been labelled as ‘needy’, ‘failing’ and ‘deprived.’ Finding the Treasure shines a spotlight on an abundance of wisdom and resourcefulness, faith, hope and love that can be found in our estate churches and neighbourhoods.
