There is a need for ongoing re-examination, discussion and development. But the value of and need for an overall institution of collective churches governance is never in question. Kaye s sense of the ongoing presence of God is a form of incarnational theology.
Christian community is an incarnational community.
While this view has wide acceptance it is not without its opponents. But this forms an important foundation for his thesis. It is as if, there is no consideration of truth and heresy, of right and wrong. There is only dialogue, diversity, sharing and acceptance within the broad community of faith. Kaye illustrates his thesis through an extensive examination of early Christianity, in the New Testament and the early church.
