David Clark argues that the gifts of the kingdom community - life, liberation, love, learning and servant leadership - are already present and actively at work in our world. The need is for them to be discerned and employed to facilitate the communal transformation of humankind. He sees the church of the future as a 'diaconal church', that is as a servant of the kingdom community, and its mission as furthering that communal transformation. He concludes by arguing that the quest for the survival and flourishing of one world will ultimately mean all human institutions becoming "diaconal institutions", servants of the kingdom community and making manifest its gifts.
