John Stott would never have called it 'mentoring', but throughout
his life he instinctively drew alongside younger men and women from
across the world and gently pastored them within the context of a
warm, genuine and healthy friendship. This was clearly a wonderful
thing for those involved, but it leads us to ask why it isn’t
more common across the church. In Transforming Friendship, John
Wyatt speaks of the transformative experience of being Stott’s
close friend. Alongside examples from the Bible, Christian history
and the church today, he creates a model for "Gospel-crafted"
friendship, with a particular emphasis on the need for more
Paul-Timothy type relationships like the one he enjoyed with Stott.
However, John also acknowledges that recent serious scandals and
the hermeneutic of suspicion prevalent in our culture have made
people more cautious about these kinds of relationships. The
church, therefore, needs to lead the way in seeing friendship
transformed into something safe, life-giving and Christlike.
