How churches can work to stem gun violence Over 300 Episcopalians
came together in Oklahoma City in April 2014 to renew their
commitment to the Gospel call to make peace in a world of violence.
Through deep conversation, prayer, and skill building the event
empowered the Episcopal Church to address violence and reclaim its
role in society as workers for nonviolence and peace. This book is
one of the outcomes of that event - resources to help dioceses,
congregations, and individuals reclaim the Gospel message of peace
for our society. Divided into four sections - Proclaim: The Gospel,
Sustain: The Witness, Reclaim: The Response and Our Prayers -
topics are offered in the areas of advocacy, education, liturgy,
and pastoral care that our Church can use to address the culture of
violence within and outside of the Church, the reader will hear the
Gospel proclaimed through personal stories of witness from key
leaders in the Church today, including Justin Welby, Katharine
Jefferts Schori, Bishop Ed Konieczny, Eugene Sutton, Mark Beckwith,
Kay Collier McLaughlin, James Michael Dowd, Matthew Ellis, and
others. Topics include: systemic/root cause of violence,
suicide/mental health, hate crimes, gang violence, race and
violence, advocacy, gun violence, bullying, gender-based violence,
and non-violence. Reflection questions follow each chapter with a
comprehensive study guide for group use included.
