All creation was designed to do one thing, and the church’s mission should be no different.

Overview

Simon Chan is a member of a Pentecostal fellowship not typically known for formal liturgy, earning an introduction by CHRISTIANITY TODAY as possibly “the world’s most liturgically-minded Pentecostal,” a seemingly self-contradictory description. But as a Pentecostal with an appreciation for traditional forms of liturgy, he brings an interesting perspective to the discussion over what must be learned and unlearned as we carry out God’s mission in the world.

In some ways, Chan rejects modern attempts to “re-think” the church, and to adapt it to contemporary contexts. But, if he’s right, his call to ground our thinking about the Church in proper Trinitarian theology could, itself, help us do exactly that: re-think the church.
