aEUROoeI had a vision of a faith community where people could have
a wider understanding of God and our relationship to him/her. I
wanted to create a place where people could state what they believe
and what they struggle withaEURO"freely. I wanted a community of
people who know we don't all have to agree on everything.aEURO
Jerry Herships, former altar boy who had dreamed of making it big
in show biz, tended bar to make ends meet as he worked gigs in
comedy and game shows, looking for his big break. After giving up
the dream and leaving Los Angeles, he found his way back to the
church and discovered God calling him to ministryaEURO"but not just
any ministry. Now he leads AfterHours Denver, a bar church where
people worship with a whiskey in their hand and make peanut butter
and jelly sandwiches to serve Denver's homeless. Last Call is a
story of having and giving up on dreams, finding yourself, and
finding how God can use you in unexpected ways.
Employing fresh, innovative readings, Edgardo Colon-Emeric examines
and underscores the centrality of the concept of perfection for the
theologies of Thomas Aquinas and John Wesley--and finds them,
surprisingly, largely complementary. Utilizing the image of a
""kneeling ecumenism,"" he offers a practical account of how
ecumenical conversations can move forward. At a time when many
Methodists struggle to understand Catholicism and many Catholics
know little of Wesley and Methodism, this stimulating work provides
the church as a whole a communal grammar of holiness, in
demonstrating how the theologies of perfection of Aquinas and
Wesley have significant messages for both groups.
