In this paper I aim to explore not what is the so-called 'post-modern and secillar context' but how the church responds to it, which is predominatly to blame it for 'decline'. Yet it may not be decline, it may be something else together. I am reflecting on a western/UK context, but within this are theological assumptions that characterize the winder church. So having made, some remarks on how to approach decline I will then explore some transformations of spirittuality and mission that are responses to the post modern and secular context. Underlying this is an attitude to 'spirituality' which is not about how we worship or our experience of the 'ethereal' but ia about our 'capacity for life'. But, I want to maintain that nothing new or transformative can energe until the church stops resenting and despairing of the context and change we are experiencing. Further, I am not convinced the church in the UK or the west is able to adapt to the strangeness of this new context and will seek always to bring it back under church control. But, I will then offer a post-modern image for transformative spirituality and mission that could leave its mark on the church.
