What new visions of church are emerging in the United Church today? Diverse voices, each taking a line from A New Creed, explore the interplay between our call to be the church and our commitment to become intercultural. As Rob Fennell writes in the Preface, "Sometimes these voices challenge us all to see with new eyes and to love with new hearts. Sometimes they push against our comfort zones. Sometimes these voices inspire deep hope and great excitement. In every case, each writers unique theological and spiritual understandings come through." Includes a study guide for individuals or small groups.
