N. T. Wright on What Is a Church
“It’s a place of welcome and laughter, of
healing and hope, of friends and family and justice and new life. It’s where the
homeless drop in for a bowl of soup and the elderly stop by for a chat. It’s
where one group is working to help drug addicts and another is campaigning for
social justice. It’s where you’ll find people learning to pray, coming to faith,
struggling with temptation, finding new purpose, and getting in touch with a new
power to carry that purpose out….No church is like that all the time. But a
remarkable number of churches are partly like that for quite a lot of
time.”
NT
