520 |a Many congregations today focus on strategy and purpose--what churches "do"--but Cheryl Peterson submits that mainline churches need to focus instead on "what" or "who" they are--to reclaim a theological, rather than sociological, understanding of themselves.

Finally, here is a way of thinking of church that reconciles the best of competing models of church for the future of mainline Protestant theology.
