Summary

At a time when many are questioning the relevance of the church to their spiritual journeys, this book asserts that "going to church"-not just personal virtue or ethics-is at the heart of Christian vocation. Drawing on Anabaptist life and conviction, Gerald J. Mast outlines Christ's call to all believers to be the church, whether gathered for worship or scattered for service.
