No 'One Size' Solutions (1)

Chapter 2: Churches the same but different

Whether you are in the market town or in a university town, in the farming community or in a multicultural city, your church acts as a beacon for the gospel in that context. Building projects vary enormously in cost, but acting is that beacon is the central theme of each and the unifying theme of all.

Building for the Gospel features the case studies of 5 churches:
St Paul’s and St George’s Episcopal Church, Edinburgh
Holyrood Abbey Church of Scotland, Edinburgh
St Andrew’s Church, Leyland
Reigate Baptist Church
St Nicholas Church, Sevenoaks

The story of St Nicholas forms the backbone of the book, with illustrations added from other churches. God deals differently with different people in different places. There are often no single right answers to questions, as the examples show.
