For over thirty years now I have believed that the main purpose of the Lord's Prayer was not give to us as a prayer to be quoted daily or weekly. I also do not believe the main purpose was to serve as a model prayer. Although both these terms are used in this writing because the reader knows exactly what is meant by the use of these terms. This book in no way demeans anyone's use of the Lord's Prayer. My previous congregation quoted it weekly and my current congregation quotes it weekly. The aim of this book is to encourage the reader to look at the Lord's Prayer from a new perspective and, when finished reading, think, "That's a possibility. I'm going to think about that some more." Let's think about this together, shall we?

Most congregations today exist in what George Thompson calls the "middle of anywhere." They live comfortably with their surrounding culture, focusing their energies on serving the needs of their current members. These congregations have many strengths and gifts that they can exercise without changing a thing. But Thompson envisions a deeper, more prophetic call for congregations to explore the meaning of being in the world but not of it-a church on the "edge of somewhere." Thompson sees a church that is deeply engaged in ministering to the community while calling on others to commit to doing the same. By analyzing the interaction between a congregation's focus of identity and their stance with the world, Thompson has created a helpful grid for congregations to place themselves on today's cultural map. A congregation that sees itself as existing on the margins of society will look different than one that sees itself as embedded in society. A congregation that hears a call to serve the surrounding community will look different from one that focuses on its internal needs. Knowing where they stand now is the key for congregations to discover where they must go in the future to fully live out their call to be God's people in the world.
