“The Nations Praying Together”
None of us would doubt the truth that God’s house – God’s family – is open to all. The church is to be the nations of the world praying together.

To answer this question, we will consider five metaphors: the ELT teacher as caretaker, doorkeeper, bridge-builder, interpreter, and advocate.
