The History of the Church or company of those who by faith have received Christ and become His followers, is still in the making, not yet complete. On this account and because of its immense extent, although it is of supreme importance, parts only of it can be written and from time to time. First one, then another, must relate what he has seen or has learned from trustworthy records, and this must be taken up and added to as stage after stage of the long pilgrimage is traversed. The following pages are a contribution to the unfolding story.

As a people whose faith is formed and nourished by the Bible's stories of creation and fall, salvation and redemption, Christians hunger to order their lives by the church's story and their own. Our journey to God leads us through the cycle of the church year from Advent and Christmas to Easter and the season called "ordinary time" as we tell and retell God's story and make it the story we live by. In A Pilgrim People John Westerhoff looks at the gospel texts season by season and relates their teachings not only to Christian life and ministry but to the life cycle of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. In teaching the lessons of the church year, Westerhoff starts not with Advent but with Holy Week and Easter, which marks the birth of Christian faith and its vision of a dream come true. Commenting briefly on each of the gospel readings for each Sunday, he moves from Eastertide through Ascension and Pentecost, the season after Pentecost, Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, and Lent, offering useful themes for preaching and education. The final chapter incorporates a radical proposal for Christian education to reform the church's organization, worship, education, and outreach.

Excerpt from Repairing the Breach: A Historical Discourse, Preached in Plymouth, Mass., At the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the Pilgrim Conference of Churches, May 16, 1855 The progress of Christianity in every kingdom and commonwealth, where it has made any progress at all, illustrates this feature of the divine administration. The Apostles founded churches in various parts of the Roman empire; but it was not till centuries after they had gone to their rest, that the throne of the Caesars was occupied by a Christian emperor. Other generations had risen up and entered into their labors had built upon their foun dations; had lived, and suffered, and died, defending the faith which the Apostles preached.
