This book argues that the response for the church is to rediscover a vocation to be a workshop of salvation, rather than a settled repository of fixed beliefs or behaviours. The call of the church is a path of formation and re-formation, a journey that can only be made in faith, in fellowship and through the mystery of fraction. Owning the paradox that the search for true freedom will be through the path of sacrifice and slavery. The church is called to challenge the limitations of democracy by offering a very different model - that of doulocracy. A vitally different basis for participation, for fulfilment and for witnessing to the coming of the kingdom of Heaven.
