'I have often said that we need more "R.C." churches, standing not for Roman Catholic but for Radical Conservative churches - "conservative" in the sense that they conserve what Scripture plainly requires, but "radical" in relation to that combination of tradition and convention which we call "culture". Scripture is unchangeable; culture is not.'
John Stott in the preface to his book The Living Church.
The books purpose is 'to bring together a number of characteristics of what I will call an authentic or living church, whether it calls itself 'emerging' or not. I hope to show that these characteristics, being clearly biblical, must in some way be preserved.'
