CAGWI

CAGWI is an acronym used throughout the Manifesto, meaning "Church as God Wants It".

At its most simplistic level, the premises of CAGWI can be understood the following way:
 * Jesus laid down a model for CAGWI in the Bible;
 * centuries of Christendom have taken us to CAWKI (Church as we know it) which is not how Jesus intended church to be; and
 * God is calling us now to re-establish CAGWI.

It is conceivable that CAGWI has always existed in places, in different ages, but in the modern age it would appear that God is taking us towards a global movement towards CAGWI.

It is also fair to say that the house church is not CAGWI, in and of itself. Though house churches were the mechanism by which God started refining the work of the church towards CAGWI, it is fair to say that house church is not the full revelation of CAGWI. There is hope, there is fellowship, there is unity with some parts of CAWKI who can catch the revelation of CAGWI and transition to it.

It is then the role of this Manifesto to explain, in essence, what CAGWI is.
