Climate Church, Climate World argues that climate change is the
greatest moral challenge humanity has ever faced. Hunger, refugees,
poverty, inequality, deadly viruses, war-climate change multiplies
all forms of global social injustice. Environmental leader Reverend
Jim Antal presents a compelling case that it's time for the church
to meet this moral challenge, just as the church addressed previous
moral challenges. Antal calls for the church to embrace a new
vocation so that future generations might live in harmony with
God's creation. After describing how we have created the dangers
our planet now faces, Antal urges the church to embrace a new
vocation, one focused on collective salvation and an expanded
understanding of the Golden Rule (Golden Rule 2.0). He suggests
ways people of faith can reorient what they prize through new
approaches to worship, preaching, witnessing and other spiritual
practices that honor creation and cultivate hope.
Leadership is a growing preoccupation of the contemporary church,
but for some of the most inspiring examples of good leadership we
need to go back, not forwards. Archbishop William Temple is widely
regarded as one of the most influential church leaders of the
twentieth century. In this book Stephen Spencer unpacks Archbishop
Temple's life and legacy, and the ways in which his leadership
transformed society in remarkable ways. From education to politics,
and from spiritual direction to leading the church through national
crisis, this book draws on Temple's biography to offer a unique and
profound portrait of the kind of servant leadership the church
needs today.
