Being the People of God

Drawn from a consultation instigated by the Church of England's Faith and Order Commission, this book seeks to offer a generative conversation involving theologians and practitioners across three key themes - the church's worship as a gathered community, its witness as a scattered community, and its walk as a pilgrim community. So often the church speaks as if there was a binary division between 'being' and 'doing', yet the contributors to this book collectively demonstrate that the situation is more complex.
