A Network of Relationships

Leslie Newbigin describes the local congregation as "the hermeneutic of the Gospel" - the way in which people understand the Gospel. We need to be communities of love. And we need to be seen to be communities of love. People need to encounter the church as a network of relationships rather than a meeting you attend or a place you enter.
