Mariann Edgar Budde shares how readers can come to know and receive Jesus more deeply in practicing the Way of Love. She shares biblical stories, wisdom from the Christian tradition, and her own personal stories of spiritual growth.

The world is changing rapidly. Between climate change, an unequal economic system, and widespread human migration, our societies are under stress and strain like never before. And just at the moment when the world needs to hear good news, many people perceive the Christian church as too old, tired, or out-of-touch to respond.

In Faithful, Creative, Hopeful, Jesse Zink demonstrates the importance of the Christian gospel and its witness to the flourishing of human societies. Zink offers 15 theses--echoing those of the church reformers--that together offer a vision for a renewed faith and a renewed church in this crisis-shaped world. From the future of the Eucharist to the nature of Christian hope, from the challenges of neoliberal capitalism to the joys of local community, Zink skillfully weaves together theology, Scripture, liturgy, congregational ministry, and on-the-ground experience of church in a variety of contexts to provoke, motivate, and challenge Christians to renew their ministry and live our mission in a changing world.

An invitation and guide for leaders to cast a courageous and imaginative vision, to lead resiliently, and to be present and steady in times of deep anxiety.

Ed Friedman's genius was to see the individual in the family in the larger group, bringing the wisdom of his experience as a therapist and rabbi to the field of organizational leadership.

A timeless bestseller, A Failure of Nerve still astonishes in this new edition with its relevance and continues to transform the lives of leaders everywhere--business, church, family, schools--as it has for more than 20 years:

• Offers prescient guide to leadership in the age of quick fix.
• Provides ways to recognize and address organizational dysfunction.
• Emphasizes strength over pathology in these anxious times.

The age that is upon us requires differentiated leadership that is willing to rise above the anxiety of the masses. We need leaders who will have the 'capacity to understand and deal effectively' with the hive mind that is us. This is, in Friedman's words, 'the key to the kingdom.' I am grateful for this accessible new edition.
―C. Andrew Doyle, Bishop, Episcopal Diocese of Texas

Twelve characteristics of healthy Christian communities and the congregational and personal practices that develop them.

Congregations have been the bedrock of mainline Christian life and practice for centuries but in recent years many have dwindled in energy and impact. Leaders conclude that change is needed, that they can't keep applying the same models and practices that have served in the past but no longer seem to work.

At a time when all kinds of institutions are being buffeted by swift and strong cultural forces, Brochard and Newton believe the congregation to be a primary site for the transformation of individuals, communities, and the world and that the measures for congregational vitality begin with health, faithfulness, and effectiveness as local expressions of the Church.

The authors offer readers insights into developing a sense of purpose, building trust, encouraging curiosity, becoming more collaborative, appreciating productive conflict, and other vital skills.

In 2022, Bishop Curry charged the House of Bishops Theology Committee to study Christian nationalism, an issue that has increasingly come to the forefront of conversations surrounding Christianity, democracy and white supremacy. The committee's methodology in an Anglican framework of scripture, tradition, reason, and liturgy sheds light on the foundation of the movement and a path forward. They argue that it is sinful and violates the first and second of the Ten Commandments. Through careful examination of Christian nationalism, the Theology Committee warns members of the church not to fall into its trap, but instead to be a light to the world.

Spanish translation of the report, case study, and discussion guide included.

Una llamada urgente sobre los peligros del nacionalismo cristiano, con una guía de discusión.

En 2022, el obispo Curry encargó al Comité de Teología de la Cámara de Obispos de la iglesia Episcopal que estudiara el nacionalismo cristiano, una cuestión que está cada vez más presente en las conversaciones sobre cristianismo, democracia y supremacía blanca. La metodología del comité en un marco anglicano de Escritura, tradición, razón y liturgia arroja luz sobre los fundamentos del movimiento y marca un camino a seguir. Argumentan que es pecaminoso y viola el primero y el segundo de los Diez Mandamientos. Mediante un cuidadoso examen del nacionalismo cristiano, el Comité de Teología advierte a los miembros de la Iglesia de que no caigan en su trampa, sino que sean una luz para el mundo. En ingles y español con estudio de caso y guía.
