Because there are many types of Churches am I correct in assuming that G K Chesterton is probably meaning the sort of Church which articulates and demonstrates what Jesus was on about. For example his teachings about turning the other cheek (which presumably is anti gun lobby and pro-pacifist) or loving ones neighbour – (ie extending the hand of friendship to those who don’t share ones theology (the Good Samaritan – or the Muslim refugee). I would be all for that sort of Church that would move the world.

That was a complicated response.
