Synopsis: Home and Away provides new vantage points in contextual
theology. An initial stream looks at the significance of postcodes
as a way of mapping local areas as situations for pastoral ministry
and theological reflection. A second, but not ancillary, stream of
essays considers the local within a range of glocal and global
dynamics. The essays do not unfold a single trajectory of thought
about context, and at various points they indirectly question and
challenge each other. The pieces meld into an international and
ecumenical conversation about contemporary Christian ministry. It
includes voices from North America, Europe, and Austral/Asia.
Although open ended, and constantly crisscrossing questions from
one context to another, the collection is emphatic in its common
conviction that attention to very local circumstance is crucial for
Christian ministry, just as are wider views of a locality's
position in broader flows. Endorsements: "Home and Away details why
global needs local and 'away' is anchored in home. Ten essays show
why the local postcode-zipcode is an essential starting point for
theological reflection that matters." --Dean Drayton, School of
