What is the central thing for the Church?  There are so many things that inevitably work to splinter the Church.  However, if the Church intentionally roots itself in the central things such as the Gospel of Jesus, then not even divisive issues such as an election can divide the Church.  Scot gives a vision for how to keep the central things central while adopting and adapting implications from the Gospel to the culture in which the Church exists.
