I have no idea who Stan Firth is, if you do please let me know, but irrespective he's wrote this great paper on what it essentially means to be church. Firth looks at a whole range of church practices and asks whether they are commands from God or simply customs created by Christians over the last two millenia. His deconstruction of singing, teaching, leadership and authority as well as his biblical exegesis make this one of those papers it is difficult to ignore- or at least it should be!
