In this compelling book about diversity and community, Mc Knight shares his personal experiences and his study of the Apostle Paul to answer this significant question: What is the church supposed to be?Local churches matter far more than we often know because they determine what Christian life looks like for you. The church Mc Knight grew up in was a fellowship of sames and likes. Mostly white, same beliefs about everything, same tastes in music and worship and sermons and lifestyle.But the church God designed, says Mc Knight, is meant to be a fellowship of difference and differents. A mixture of people from all across the map and spectrum: men and women, rich and poor, black and white, and everything in between.A Fellowship of Differents explores the church as God’s world-changing social experiment of bringing unlikes and differents to the table to share life with one another as a new kind of family, showing the world what love, justice, peace, reconciliation, and life together is designed by God to be.
