"In this book, Dr Helen D. Morris helpfully brings ‘body of Christ’ language to bear upon the contemporary ecclesiological conversation. It is a work of careful theological scholarship, offering wide-ranging and thoughtful discussion in the context of a new and creative metaphor for what Helen calls re-contextual church. Flexible Church will certainly be beneficial to academics and practitioners alike.

In Flexible Church, Helen D. Morris speaks to this issue by proposing an ecclesiology for innovative expressions of church that is grounded in biblical texts whilst self-consciously and intentionally developed for the contemporary Western milieu.
Engaging with the work of key church thinkers such as Michael Moynagh and Pete Ward, as well as critical New Testament scholarship, Morris introduces a framework for church that facilitates both flexibility and faithfulness; faithfulness to the church's Christian heritage and identity, and the flexibility to fashion new forms of church that can connect more effectively with those who currently find church irrelevant and inaccessible.
