Name: Ecclesiology_Part 4 - The Pathway of a Local Church by Dr. Andrew Corbett
Duration: 32 min 24 s
Description: Ecclesiology is the study of the church. Local churches are all a part of the global Church which made up multiple denominations and traditions. There is one thing that is often neglected by a local church and it is not just their foyer or carpark - it is their pathway. In this session Dr. Andrew Corbett discusses how a local church can begin to develop their pathway.

Increasing numbers of people in our society are starting to become aware of the real dangers of pornography – not just for the users of it, but also for the women who are often enslaved within the industry. Yet why are so few speaking up about it? In culture that is often passionate about justice issues why does this not get the attention it should? 

In this episode of Pod of the Gaps, Aaron, Andy and Michael seek to address that gap by taking an honest look at this issue. How can Christians speak out without sounding prudish or anti-sex? And how can we best help those enslaved by it (the ‘users’ and the ‘used’)? As ever, we explore this pressing cultural issue with the usual mix of theology, wit, and wisdom.

This is the podcast, Audio the Matters, where I take the ancient truth of God's Word, explain it, and show how it is relevant for today. I blog. I write. I  eBook. I am currently undertaking another doctorate where I am researching the work of C.S. Lewis in regard to his theological contribution to our understanding of the imago Dei.
