Why bother with church? Can’t I follow Jesus on my own? Christians young and old struggle to answer these questions, believing Scripture says little about church life. But the Bible is far from silent. The New Testament envisions a vibrant church of devoted brothers and sisters adopted into God’s family. The biblical image of the church family has the power to reshape everything our local churches do—the ways pastors lead, how members engage one another, what worship leaders sing, and much more. Now is the time to reclaim a biblical vision of the church as a family and reject the prevailing corporate-church paradigm assumed by church growth gurus. The church that thinks of itself as a family will learn to build meaningful relationships and show the unbelieving world how good church life can be.

Of late there has grown in African Catholicism the concept of Church as the Family of God, Familia Dei, which has enhanced greater social cohesion among the members of the Church and strengthened interpersonal relationships among them. This book is an endeavour to offer a path towards the solution of the problem of environmental crisis through the theological discipline of ecclesiology. Using the Catholic Archdiocese of Lilongwe's understanding of Church as the Family of God, the book concludes that the application of the concept of Church as family of God, while bringing great social cohesion among the people, failed to extend to human relationships with the natural world, in fact It has broadened the human feeling of superiority over the natural environment. The book provides an ecclesiological complementarity which promotes a universal fraternity among people and the natural world ,and recommends an ecclesiological concept of Church as New Creation, Nova creatio. This would serve as a call for human beings to make a new ecological conversion, leading new lifestyles, change in their models of nature-worldviews, and change in the models of production and consumption.

CHURCH IS FAMILY – Becoming More of Who We Are is an in-depth New Testament study by Graeme C. Young. In the introductory section the author outlines the importance of this subject and its implications for the life and ministry of the church today. He looks at present day thinking about the meaning of church and how that is expressed in the variety of church structures, relationships and leadership styles. He then takes his readers on a detailed examination of church relationships in the New Testament. In the section "Church is Family in the Gospels" he looks at the inter-relationships of Father, Jesus, and Jesus' followers, and also at what we can learn from the example of how Jesus talked with his Father. In "Church is Family in Acts", there is shown the clear definition of church as family in how they addressed one another and in how they lived. The leadership and decision making in the New Testament church family is seen to not involve any hierarchical structure, but rather a wide variety of ways of reaching decisions. The terms used to describe people with particular responsibilities are examined and compared in meaning and function with the names and titles that different parts of today's church family use. In "Church is Family in the Letters" the writers are shown to be writing to fellow family members. This is seen firstly in how they describe themselves and other Christians, and in how they address the people they are writing to; secondly in what they say about their relationship with Father and Jesus; and also in the instructions they give for church family life. The purpose and practice of the various family gatherings of the church are described, with reference back to the church gatherings described in Acts. The book concludes with "Church is Family in My Experience". This section demonstrates that, although the denominational structures and organisation which are adopted by churches do not always clearly represent church as family, yet in all sorts of churches, "Church is Family" finds expression. The author shares his happy personal experiences of how what he calls "familiness" has been evident in the many varied churches and Christian groups he has been in throughout his life.

Christians don’t check their dysfunctional habits at the church door. Coiffed and buttoned-down on the outside, inside we still bring our compulsions and addictions, our urges to criticize, compare, and deny. Try as we might to cover up, we often behave in church just like we do at home. It’s time to stop pretending. No church is perfect, just as no family is perfect. This book calls us to accept the church’s humanness – the fact that we tend to make messes of our lives – as it explores eight common dysfunctions. But it also calls us to reaffirm that each local congregation in the body of Christ ought to be a place where we can come and feel loved, helped, forgiven – and given hope to go out and do better next time. After all, God created the church to be the best family in the whole world. Small group discussion questions and helpful excerpts from other books are included with each chapter.
