The Spirit, the Word, & the Mu-church Emil B Swift

I am proposing a new type of fellowship which avoids traditional church patterns and is not competitive, fosters a high level of unity amongst Believers of any faith, and allows for a revolutionary vision of believers readied to face the revolutionary needs of this current generation. This is a non-religious book, and has no involvement with or against traditional churches. This book is a full-fledged manual on how to have a relationship with Christ that is not bogged down by traditional Christian terms and methods. Its goal is to clarify one thing-mu-church groups-so you'll be ready to get them up and running in your homes or other suitable gathering places. Mu-church concepts are rooted in the strongest, indigenous Christian movement in Japan known as the mu-kyokai (not-church) movement. There is no church involved in a mu-church circle or group. It is not anti-church but merely ignores the church system. It recognizes that there is only One Body, made up of those who love one another as Jesus Christ loved us. There is no "guru" or "pope" in mu-church as Christ alone is the Head of the Body. Believers are all on one level, a true priesthood of Believers. There are no rules or regulations, no canon, no doctrine. Mu-church circles or groups are fundamentally inclusive. Social groupings are not defined by those whom they include as much as by those who are excluded, despite knowing that inclusion is the better way of love.
