The Church was never designed to be held together with polite optimism.
Could a greater biblical awareness help us uncover the true, robust unity Jesus spoke of?

After serving for two terms as a President of Churches Together in England and speaking for churches across the inter-church spectrum, Hugh Osgood now brings a timely message for today.

In this book, we explore the experiences of the first-century Church and imagine seven letters written to our congregations from the leaders of the churches in Revelation.

If we respond to these words in humility and boldness, the Church today could be engaging afresh and standing together - not in polite kindness, but in true unity.

“In this book, Hugh Osgood argues … narrow visions of unity that shut down debate are as unhelpful as wider visions of unity that see working through discord as a distraction. He has written very graciously … believing that the voice of every church member can help to bring change.”
