Main Conference Themes
Using the four New Testament gospels, the conference helped illuminate the four main themes of the Church without Walls Report concerning the shape of the church, and provided a basis for ministers and other congregational leaders to review and re-energise their own vision.
The four main themes of the report are:
- A Church shaped by
— The Gospel (Exploring the themes of Law and Grace in Matthew's Gospel)
- A Church shaped by
— The Neighbourhood (Exploring the theme of the “Word made flesh” in John's Gospel)
- A Church shaped by
— Friendship (Exploring the theme of the vulnerable outsider in Luke's Gospel)
- A Church shaped by
— The Gifts of God's People (Exploring the themes of discipleship in Mark's Gospel)
