Transforming Community: The Practice of the Gospel in Church Discipline

In previous centuries culture provided reinforcement for our attitudes and behaviour. Families stayed together, honor was shown to our elders and some kinds of public behaviour were considered shameful. A clear and ordered world of truth and certainty wove itself into the fabric of our daily lives. In the course of his ministry Mark has seen: adultery, incest, wife and child abuse, rape, embezzlement, drug and alcohol abuse, sex change surgery, fornication and homosexuality - not as rarities in his ministry but as regular occurrences. Although this is a book about church discipline, it is really about a spirit-empowered community. Mark uses real situations from his experience to help us turn principles into practice.Lauterbach, Mark is the author of 'Transforming Community: The Practice of the Gospel in Church Discipline' with ISBN 9781857928754 and ISBN 185792875X.
