The Eleventh Commandment: On the Nature of the Christian Community of Faith

The Eleventh Commandment is a bold attempt to understand the rationale for and the dynamics of an authentic Christian community of faith. In it Jonathan Fletcher plumbs the depths of his own experiences, ranges over a variety of contexts and challenges and develops a set of guidelines for assessing whether true community exists and how one might go about developing it if it does not. The bottom line is that the essence of our Christian journey is one of community-sharing the love of Christ with others and allowing them to share it with us. Only if this sharing is the central theme of that journey in Christ are we justified in calling ourselves disciples of Jesus Christ.
