Description
At the 150th anniversary of the dedication of All Souls, London, John Stott gave voice to his dream for it, and all souls everywhere: "I have a dream of
. . . a biblical church
. . . a worshiping church
. . . a caring church
. . . a serving church
. . . an expectant church
Reflecting on his more than 60 years of service at All Souls and a worldwide ministry that led Time magazine to acknowledge him as one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World," Stott alerts a church that is in transition to the hallmarks of a church that is living.
"The Living Church" is the full articulation of Stott's dream for the body of Christ in the world today. To the people of God who inherit the global church he has helped to build for the past sixty years, he bequeaths this calling:
"There is such a thing as goodness: pursue it. The postmodern mood is unfriendly to all universal absolutes. Yet the apostle says there is such a thing as truth: fight for it. And there is such a thing as life: lay hold of it. May God enable us to make an unabashed commitment . . . to what is true, what is good, and what is real."
