Bring the 'passion' narrative alive with 'Parish Passion Play', which is suitable for production by anyone with little or no acting experience. Ideally suited for use in a parish church, the play is based upon the chronology presented by Professor Colin J. Humphreys in his book 'The Mystery of the Last Supper'.

At some point during our religious maturation, we have to ask ourselves how much do we really know God? What phase is our faith in? And are we spiritually dead or alive? This book was written for those on a quest to make a connection with God. The purpose of this book is to support the readers' relationship with Christ. It is meant to be read along with The Holy Bible and not in place. The objective is to stir our preconceptions about biblical truths so that we may be able to discern God's intent with the Spirit of Truth. When people ready the Bible receptively they will find that it gives a feeling of transcendence.

"This book is a great guide for the spiritually thirty. It is a must read for all those seeking the Truth. The deep intentions, within God's Word, are revealed to those who eagerly search for it."

- Rev. B. So Jin Church of True Life

Churches are increasingly exploring the potential of diaconal ministry to help them serve wider society in the contemporary context. Those involved in this ministry seek to forge improved connections between churches and the wider communities in which they are located. However, the role of those ordained to be deacons is diverse, challenging and often controversial, both within and outside the Church.

This book explores how deacons within the Methodist Church in Britain have understood their own ministry and sought to address these challenges. It draws on innovative research undertaken with the Methodist Diaconal Order over two years. Key questions and implications for practice are provided to help those wishing to reflect further on this ministry.

This book makes a significant contribution to the ecumenical debate on diaconal ministry. It offers much that will be of interest to all those seeking to reflect on, understand, engage in or work with those involved in this ministry in their own contexts."
