The church would not be the church of Jesus Christ if it failed to fulfill the one mission bestowed upon it by Jesus Christ after his resurrection, namely to preach and teach the gospel. The church owes its very existence to the word and sacrament. The voice of the preacher can be heard by all. The water of baptism is visible to all. The bread and wine can be tasted by all. The themes of this book have been the daily passions of Frederick Trost: The church's faithful worship, sound theology, fellowship of love, and mission of justice to a divided and violent world. The writers develop their themes on the nature and purposed of the church in acknowledgement of Trost's faithful ministry in and in that church.

Dr. Strommen brings his years of experience as a research psychologist to the sensitive discussion of Homosexuality. Citing the extreme positions, he contributes to a realistic, informed, compassionate discussion of the issues. While neither denying the biblical exegesis on the one hand, nor affirming the activist agendas on the other, the author cites core gospel values in challenging the church to ministry. The middle ground places a ministry dialectic before the church -- to be welcoming and to minister
