"Wolff’s searching examination of the present and prospective “negative work” of the church reminds us the light can only shine in the darkness if it is taken into the darkness of this present moment. The work Wolff now calls the church to embrace is not a negation of possibility, but a faithful following of the Christ, whose victory over death is made possible only by willingly accepting the utter vulnerability of mortal flesh." Rt Revd Mark Edington, Bishop in Charge of the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe
And last but not least, some apophatic theology!
Edda Wolff reimagines the Church as a space of continual transformation rather than institutional preservation. How might negative work renew the Church’s life, witness & mission?

"Reading John's book is like reading the past 25 years of my life and ministry! With clarity, wit and grace he highlights both the insights and oversights of the Anglican charismatic movement, challenging the false-divide between Spirit-filled worship and Anglican liturgy." Graham Hunter, Vicar, St John's Church Hoxton, London
In recent decades many Charismatic Anglican churches have discarded formal liturgy, swapping it for a worship song focus. John Leach investigates this approach, what people in these churches think of this policy, and its underlying assumptions.

"Are our [spiritual] practices ... creating space for diverse ways of being faithful, or do they quietly reinforce a single, idealized model of Christian life?"
- for some Christians – particularly autistic and other neurodivergent people – many commonly assumed rules are simply unattainable.
