How the issues of the past affect the future of deep church.

Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant traditions drink from the well of a common tradition rooted in the early Church. Many Evangelicals are now re-engaging with the practice of the early church as they seek to live as disciples today. Remembering the past is essential for facing the future.

Here leaders and theologians reflect on a range of issues for which a vibrant contemporary faith requires a careful listening to the past. What is the place of tradition in the Church's life? How should we interpret the Bible? How should we worship? What, in other words, might 'Deep Church' look like?
