THE NETWORK FOR GOSPEL AND CULTURE [revised 6/97]
http://www.voyager.co.nz/~dozer/
"Christianity should make a difference in the way you hold your knife and fork" - Toyohiku Kagawa. The Kagawa quote at the head of the homepage may sound like a pithy anecdote, one you can tell your Christian friends over Sunday lunch, but it is very serious. Christianity should make such a difference. The effect is to be seen in our daily lives -- even in the mundane repetitive things of life. Christianity should make a difference in the way we use our knifes and forks. So what is the problem? In the West we live in a society where the Christian life should stand out like a beacon. Society is in such turmoil that anyone with clear direction is quite evident. Unfortunately the Church is not in such a position. Quite the opposite in fact -- it is losing, or even has lost, its value in society. We should not be surprised at this however because when society comes to the Church it tends to be greeted with a reflection of itself. Instead of unearthing what Jacques Ellul calls the 'social intolerability of revelation' they find the comfortable smells of home. We have woken from the sleep of Christendom to a society accommodated by the Church not changed by the Church as we had thought. Indeed so many 'offensive' cardinal doctrines of faith have been found expendable that an agnostic can write to the London Times saying: "Sir. There does not seem very much left for us agnostics not to believe in." -- From the Introduction. Aims of The Network for Gospel and Culture are documented on line, and a brief historical outline is provided. A section called Gospel and Culture Contacts includes information about its movements in North America Great Britain, New Zealand and Australia as well as their newsletter, called New Slant (detailed in the Newsletters/ Journals section of this guide). Biographical information relating to people who have been influenced by the gospel an culture movement, including Lesslie Newbigin and J.H. Oldham are included in the section entitled A Word in Season.

Turner; as well as the following historical articles: The Jerusalem Meeting and the Christian Message, by Oliver Chace Quick; and, The Western Crisis, an excerpt from Hendrick Kramer's book, The Christian Message in a Non-Christian World.
