Church identity

[The Church] derives its character not from its membership but from its Head, not from those who join it but from Him who calls it into being. (Weston, Paul. "Lesslie Newbigin: Missionary Theologian." Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans. 2006 p127)

I find Newbigin so refreshing in helping me to think about how to be the church. Everything draws the distinctives away from ourselves to the One who calls us into fellowship with Himself through His Son.
