The presiding bishop's advisors lay out a step-by-step way to
nurture a profound friendship with God in Christ. Walking the Way
of Love is organized according to seven practices (Turn, Learn,
Pray, Worship, Bless, Go, and Rest) and three ways of being (We
Seek Love; We Seek Freedom; and We Seek Abundant Life). The wisdom
in this book allows people to move from the first tentative stages
of wanting an experiential relationship with Jesus to having a real
relationship that grows deeper every year. The seven simple
practices spelled out in this book-- by highly experienced teachers
and practitioners-- will enhance the reader's spiritual growth and
open up love, freedom, and abundant life. The stories and wisdom of
these advisors will be helpful not just to seekers of faith, but
also supportive to faith leaders who are guiding others in their
development across the church. Proceeds support The Way of Love
Scholarship Fund.
"There is a renewed conversation about identity and mission in
American Anglicanism today, based on the recognition that the
church s context in the U.S. has dramatically changed. The legacies
of establishment, benefactor approaches to mission, and the
national church ideal are no longer adequate for the challenges and
opportunities facing the 21st century church. But if the Episcopal
Church is no longer the Church of the Establishment and the
benefactor model of church is dead, what is the heart of Episcopal
mission and identity? Scholar and Episcopal priest Dwight Zscheile
draws on multiple streams of Anglican thought and practice, plus
contemporary experience to craft a vision for mission that
addresses the church s post-establishment, post-colonial context.
With stories, practices and concrete illustrations, Zscheile
engages readers in re-envisioning what it means to be Anglican in
America today and sends readers out to build new relationships
within their local contexts." "
In this book, two leading ministry experts place the missional
church conversation in historical perspective and offer fresh
insights for its further development. They begin by providing a
helpful review of the genesis of the missional church and offering
an insightful critique of the Gospel and Our Culture Network's
seminal book "Missional Church," which set the conversation in
motion. They map the diverse paths this discussion has taken over
the past decade, identifying four primary branches and ten
sub-branches of the conversation and placing over one hundred
published titles and websites into this framework. The authors then
utilize recent developments in biblical and theological
perspectives to strengthen and extend the conversation about
missional theology, the church's interaction with culture and
cultures, and church organization and leadership in relation to the
formation of believers as disciples. Professors, students, and
church leaders will value this comprehensive overview of the
missional movement. It includes a foreword by Alan J. Roxburgh.
How can pastors help to create missional faith communities that are
willing to participate in God's healing of the world? Cultivating
Sent Communities reimagines spiritual formation through the lens of
mission, covering such topics as the role of Scripture,
congregational discernment, and short-term missions and drawing on
case studies from diverse contexts including Ethiopia, England,
Leipzig, and San Francisco. Full of rich practical, theological,
and sociological insights into forming missional churches, this
fourth volume in the Missional Church Series calls readers to
deepen the core practices that have defined Christians for
centuries -- and to reclaim them within the context of cultural
adaptation and innovation. Contributors Dinku Bato Nancy S. Going
