About the 2001 Report: Church without Walls report
Church without Walls, a report accepted by the General Assembly in 2001, aims to provide a 'big vision' for the Church, relevant to every part of the Church and over many years.
What's in the report?
The report restates the primary purpose of the Church is to follow Jesus Christ. We are his people, travelling where he leads us. We are invited to risk this way and break our addiction to security.
A church which hears this call will be shaped by:
The Gospel - a rediscovery of the grace of God;
The locality - responding to the varieties of our changing contexts;
Friendship - with fellow members, the next generation, the searcher, the community, other churches, rich and poor, the world church, God's creation;
The gifts of God's people - growing the church around the gifts we have been given.
