About this eBook

“What is simple church?” This is a simple question that doesn’t have a simple answer.

Simple Church: Unity Within Diversity is an attempt to shed light on the above question and provide some answers. The twenty-four contributors all hope this book will help people, both inside and outside the church, better understand what simple church life is all about.

Far too often discussions about the church descend into arguments that accomplish little. We have no desire to take part in that. Rather, each person who has written a chapter for this book desires that it will lead to increased communication, understanding, and ultimately unity within the body of Christ.

Twenty-four writers means twenty-four somewhat different perspectives. We certainly do not agree on everything. You will see that as you read through the book. What we do agree upon is that simple practices often lead to great opportunities for edification and service—both inside and outside the church. We want to share these ideas with other followers of Christ and explain what it is all about. If you would like to know more about simple church from a positive perspective, then this is the book for you!

This book brings together 24 authors (I am one of them). Each writes a chapter of the book to paint an unprecedented picture of the church as Jesus is building her. Above all the book is stubbornly optimistic and positive. You won't find criticism of others here. Instead, every contribution focusses on an attribute of church that is wholesome, necessary, pure and built upon the foundation of the character and nature of Christ himself.
