Power of the Church verus Power of the Gospel
The power to transform a person, a family, a tribe, a nation, and the world doesn't lie in the engineering of the perfect church - but lies in the planting the the seed of the perfect Gospel in the dirt of humanity. There, left to dirt and rain - the Gospel grows and works to a point that the church emerges. Form follows function. We think function happens if we get the right form. We may never which comes first, the chicken or the egg - but we know the Gospel before the Church.

Shorty, technically the Gospel is perfect, no such thing as an imperfect Gospel. But, having said that, I would define as the Life and Passion of God expressed in Jesus exuding in realtime situations and circumstances. There is much much much wanting in that statement. Christology is huge - but that's a starting point.
