The churches have allowed themselves to be marginalised through colonisation by celebrity culture, consumerism and common sense philosophy. Church on Edge? is a brilliant and provocative attempt to escape this pathology. It suggests that the experience of being marginal can help us better grasp vital insights about Christian identity, discipleship and ministry. In a world preoccupied with power and significance being marginal is often a blessing, since it offers a less deceptive perspective on life than being at the centre.
