The Living Church is the full articulation of Stott's dream for the body of Christ in the world today. To the people of God who inherit the global church he has helped to build for the past sixty years, he bequeaths this There is such a thing as pursue it. The postmodern mood is unfriendly to all universal absolutes. Yet the apostle says there is such a thing as fight for it. And there is such a thing as lay hold of it. May God enable us to make an unabashed commitment . . . to what is true, what is good, and what is real.
