Robert Nash describes the three primary responsibilities that the church has in this new millennium: offer the truth of God's grace and love to its culture, enhance the spirituality of its members, and cultivate a caring community that reflects the coming kingdom of God. This book concludes with a call for renewed vision for what it means to be a traditional church. This vision will take seriously the perceptions about absolute truth, spirituality, and Christian community that dominate in a postmodern America, and it will look back to the early church as a model for ministry in a pluralistic age.
