Description:
Aimed at practitioners, church leaders, academics, and students of mission and world Christianity, this book offers insights on the theology and practice of mission in our age. It brings together authors from around the world and a variety of social locations to offer both practical and scholarly reflection on practice, case studies and stories, and pressing contemporary questions. Addressing the “five marks of mission” identified by the Anglican communion - evangelism and proclamation; discipleship; social service; social transformation; and ecological concern - chapters examine these touchstones of authenticity in the context of such intercultural processes as globalisation, migration, Islam, “old Christendom,” peace building, and reconciliation. Contributors include Jehu Hanciles, David Zac Nirigiye, Lamin Sanneh, Melba Maggay, Hami Tutu Chapman, Gerald Pillay, Kwame Bediako, and Moonjang Lee.

Description:
Beginning with the insight that “Jesus was on a mission from God,” Father Schroeder explains why mission and evangelisation are at the heart of Christian discipleship and the life of the church - but also why mission is larger than simply extending the ranks of the church. After a fascinating overview of mission from New Testament times up to the present reality of a “world church,” he outlines a contemporary understanding of mission in its different dimensions, ranging from witness and proclamation, to spirituality, justice and peace, inculturation, and interreligious dialogue, and reconciliation. Finally, he addresses the challenge of a mission-driven parish and diocese, detailing the spirituality and practice that link the local church with the mission of Christ in a suffering world.
In this book, Bonnie Thurston has adapted a retreat that she gave to the Society of the Sacred Cross at Tymawr Convent in Wales, thereby inviting all of us to embark on this spiritual journey. Mark’s Gospel is full of places - desert, house, sea, valley, mountain, city, cross, garden - and the winding roads between them. Thurston’s prose invites us to go away to a quiet place and reflect awhile on what it means to be Jesus’ disciple, to follow him across the hard landscape. Along the way there will be glimpses of his glory - when he stills the storm and is transfigured on the mountain, when he heals the sick and feeds the hungry. Still, the primary lesson is the difficult way to which we are called, along with the great joy of knowing that Jesus has initiated the journey and leads us exactly where we need to go.

Description:
Advent is not about a sentimental waiting for the Baby Jesus, Richard Rohr asserts. Advent is a time to focus our expectations and anticipation on the adult Christ, the Cosmic Christ, who challenges us to empty ourselves, to lose ourselves, to surrender. Drawing on selections from his inspirational lecture, Preparing for Christmas With Richard Rohr, this booklet offers daily reflections and prayers for the Advent season, along with each day’s Scripture readings and questions for reflection. A wonderful resource for personal prayer, this attractive, 80-page, pocket-sized booklet is a perfect companion for your Advent preparation.
Hedley Beare invites the reader to a fundamental focus on encountering the divine in the present moment, and makes a convincing case for the personal and social benefits of this transforming approach to prayer. Throughout the book he also provides practical guidance to enable readers to embrace this approach in the reality of their own lives. This book culminates in reflections on the lives and experiences of renowned Christians who embodied the encounter of God in the present moment, including St Patrick and the Celts, Carlo Carretto, Brother Lawrence and Jean-Pierre de Caussade.

Description:
Instead of turning to the historical Jesus or to the pronouncements of church councils, Tilley approaches Christology from the perspective of the disciples of Jesus. How did they understand him? How did they shape their lives according to his teachings? What difference did Jesus make for them? Christology, then, is viewed as a practical discipline rather than a theoretical one.
In conversation with several contemporary theologians, Tilley examines texts from Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Paul’s letter to the Philippians to explore Christian discipleship - what it meant to the early followers of Jesus and what it means to believers today. The goal throughout is to help readers understand how we can, using Tilley’s words, “be faithful to our old creeds in this new world.”
A master theologian and popular Catholic author offers inspiring insights into the mystery of Christ’s presence in our lives. As festive as the film “Babette’s Feast” and as profound as the work of Ronald Knox, this fresh look at the Eucharist brings to light the meanings of meal, sacrifice, and real presence in our lives.

Description:
This book is for anyone who has ever asked: how can I really know there is a God? How can a loving God allow evil and suffering? What do I need to know when my faith is shaken by scandal in the church? Does science make my faith look foolish? What do I need to understand to experience certainty and assurance? Fr O’Malley helps believers to understand these issues, tolerate ambiguity in their lives, and continue their quest to see the invisible and to know the unknowable. He shows that there is a way of knowing that transcends argument and offers the possibility of moral certitude and certain assurance.
