hi there --

i think you'd really enjoy the book "streams of living water" by richard foster.  he talks about the christian church in history and the riches to mined from the different denominations' history, theology and style, for the enrichment of all of us, rather than shooting at each other.  i've been feasting on this for a while now.

this is a US website, but i'd be willing to bet there's a version of it where you are...
cheers!
