Theodore Austin-Sparks (1888–1971) was a British evangelist and author. Born in London, he became a Christian at seventeen while listening to street-preachers in Glasgow, and was ordained a Baptist minister at twenty-four. In 1926 he left the denomination and, with like-minded Christians, founded a conference and training centre at Honor Oak in south-east London. From there he published the free magazine "A Witness and A Testimony" until his death, and his conference ministry took him across Europe, North America and Asia. He asked that his messages be shared freely and word for word. Source: Wikipedia (summarized; CC BY-SA)

“Fellowship” presents Christian unity as a purpose of God rooted in believers’ life together in Christ and the Spirit, not merely friendly relations. Opening with John 17 and the early church’s fellowship, Austin-Sparks turns to Paul’s appeal in Philippians 2 and Christ’s self-emptying example. He calls readers to resist division and surrender personal claims so that fellowship may be shaped by the Spirit.
