What on Earth is the Church For?
The Church is like ice cream. There are lots of flavours, but they’re all good!

Jesus prayed before his death and resurrection that his followers would be one. We haven’t always managed it. But despite the appearances to the contrary the vast majority of Christians agree that there is one Church and that belonging to it, despite its flaws and failings is an essential part of being a disciple of Jesus today.
