  • . . . a caring church
  • . . . a serving church
  • . . . an expectant church
Reflecting on his more than sixty years of service at All Souls and a worldwide ministry that led Time magazine to acknowledge him as one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World," Stott alerts a church that is in transition to the marks of a church that is living.The Living Church is the full articulation of Stott's dream for the body of Christ in the world today.

May God enable us to make an unabashed commitment . . . to what is true, what is good, and what is real.
