In a similar way, churches today in our secular society are in a missionary situation. The crucial thing is to spread the gospel. There has to be an organisational structure for the church, but that structure must be subservient to the spreading of the gospel. Pragmatic needs require that the church will always be living in the paradoxical situation where it is an antiorganisational organisation. Its structures must not hinder people from being brought into the Kingdom of God.
Circumstances alter cases.
The message of the church has not and will not change, but the way we package that message must change to meet the existential situation. In Australia, we seem to have reversed this process. We have changed the message to accommodate the beliefs of our society, and have considered to be suspect anyone who seeks to change the status quo with respect to the method of presentation. People groups Church Growth studies show that there are homogeneous people groups in any society. The homogeneous unit principle does not deny this, but recognises that within this oneness, there is also diversity due to many factors which can inhibit close and lasting intimate relationships.
