Welcome
Christ’s Team and Continuing Creation
Hello!
I’m Robert Frank. I have had a rather unusual life having spent the working hours of my adult life as a research scientist and teacher and my spare time serving on evangelism committees of the churches I attended.
It has taken a long time, but I have finally achieved an understanding of Christianity in a way that permits those two worlds to comfortably merge. I have summarized it in a book called Christ’s Team: A 21st Century View of Christianity.
As I reread the Apostle Paul’s statements in the Bible that described the followers of Jesus as the Body of Christ, it occurred to me that he was describing a team of people working together, Christ’s Team.
If the followers of Jesus are a team working toward a goal, what are they doing? What is the goal? Aha! Since God, the Father, is the source of all creation they are continuing creation in the human realm, improving the quality of human life.

Christ’s Team is thus a creative approach to 21st century Christian evangelism. The book is designed to be an easily read overview of the Christ’s Team concept useful for introducing the subject in Adult Sunday School classes.
While recognizing denominational differences, the book treats Christianity as a relatively coherent unit, reminding readers that Christians working together have provided mission programs virtually everywhere on Earth to aid those who are ill or impoverished.
Forgiveness achieved through the death and resurrection of Jesus, which is the central focus of Christianity, is shown to play a vital role in teamwork.
The book points out that Christianity and science have always depended upon each other for success and have been partners in continuing creation on Earth. Jointly they are responsible for the dramatic improvements in the quality of human life achieved in recent years.
Most of the book is devoted to demonstrating that virtually all of the features of modern Christianity can be understood in the context of Christ’s Team.
Christ’s Team is one of the largest teams on Earth and an inspiring adventure to be part of. If you have questions I can be contacted by email at christsteambook@mchsi.com
