The Church. The bride of Christ. The Body of Christ on earth. A joy, delight and a comfort to all Christians. And the source of some of our greatest hurt and struggle. We fight for the Church, but we also fight inside the Church, and the sight of a local congregation or denomination, battling it out, is one of the saddest and most shaming that we ever come across.
So do we have the choice to opt out of the Church altogether, to go it alone, just us and God? No, says Jeff. Whatever the problems, we have to learn to work together. With his usual humour and understanding, he takes us through some of the key issues facing Christians in the 21st-century Church -- bullying leaders, grumbling, gossiping, spiritual dementia and finally the overwhelming need for love.
