Description: This third volume of Ken Vaux's memoirs covers the
calendar year of 2012 which focused on (1) teaching in the Evanston
church as this body struggled to be both evangelical in theology
and oriented to social justice in the community. We searched
together for having what it takes to be a "University
Church"--preaching and teaching a credible and relevant message and
living out a vital witness; seeking honest responses to issues in
church and state such as homosexuality, embodying concern for the
poor and lively ministry in the neighborhoods of the parish. (2)
That community was confronted with belief crisis and ethical
challenge during the year with eight gun-killings of young people.
The churches now had to move beyond the prevalent complacency,
confront the racisim and disregard for the poor disband the
apartheid of the village that existed even in black and white
Ministeria and get real with what an interfaith community had to do
to leaven and heal its own backyard. (3) For Such a Time as This
also deals with global and national political issues such as an
unwinding war in Iraq and Afghanistan and a new one arising in
Syria--biblical theology being put to the test--and the provocative
election of 2012 as the theological imagination was stirred by
candidates Obama and Romney.
