David Coffey, President of the Baptist World Alliance, has opened his heart in what he describes as a humble call to the evangelical family to take our disunity seriously and to put our house in order.
You can feel the pulse of the book in the following extract: ‘What is lacking between the tribes at present is agreement about core evangelical commitments. We need to find ways of articulating what is primary and what is secondary. In which areas may we exercise legitimate plurality? How do we interact graciously with those we differ from doctrinally? There need to be ground rules for articulating our differences graciously. These debates need to take place in a forum which includes all the tribes.’
