The divided church

Hard questions about issues ranging from homosexuality to worship styles are dividing Christians. The debates are taking place within churches and denominations and between denominations. The resulting lines of division often unnecessarily keep us from working together as an effective witness of Christ. The authors of this book are from very different theological perspectives. Richard Hutcheson, a Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) pastor, speaks as a conservative evangelical. Peggy Shriver of the National Council of Churches speaks as a liberal. Their extensive research and interviews with a wide range of denominational and Christian leaders undergird this important book. The resulting dialogue between these two leaders over the state of the church today offers us hope for communication and cooperation in our own Christian circles. -- Publisher.
