A Generous Orthodoxy

The early church was incredibly diverse ethnically, socially, economically and politically. As theologian Scot McKnight describes, it was a fellowship of differents and unlikes. Uniting this fellowship of differents was their unwavering belief in Jesus. The unity of belief in diversity made the early church irresistible and unstoppable. Why does what we believe divide rather than unite the church? How do we return to this irresistible movement of a fellowship of differents?
