Download or read book A Mobile Church For E P I C Times written by Fred Peatross and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-01-20 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his most significant book Fred Peatross challenges his readers to interface the world and the church; to step across faith community borders and create "safe-places" where believers, functioning as guides and explorers, comfortably journey with pre-Christians. Fred Peatross writes from a heritage within the Restoration Movement, which gives him rightful claim to the title "A Protestant of the Protestants." His insights, challenges, conversations, questions, pokes, prods, humor, confrontations, and inspirations just might help awaken the sleeping Protestant giant, and thus open the way for better days of motivation, ministry, mission. Every reader will find much to remember, ponder, and put into practice. -Brian McLaren, author, pastor , fellow in emergent (www.emergentvillage.com) The best black-and-white photographers understand that their art isn't really about black and white at all, but about "gray scale": capturing and preserving the myriad shades between obsidian and blinding white. With A Mobile Church For E.P.I.C. Times, Fred Peatross joins a growing number of "gray scale" ministry leaders...cultural pioneers well rooted in the gospel, but passionately aware that ministry to the emerging culture requires an "intermediacy" unfamiliar to the modern church. This book will nudge you out of black and white, formulaic ministry into God's prevenient, "gray-scale" work outside the stained-glass ghetto. -Sally Morgenthaler, author of Worship Evangelism; writer for Rev Magazine and founder of Sacramentis.com

Download or read book The Religion of Falun Gong written by Benjamin Penny and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In July 1999, a mere seven years after the founding of the religious movement known as the Falun Gong, the Chinese government banned it. Falun Gong is still active in other countries, and its suppression has become a primary concern of human rights activists and is regularly discussed in dealings between the Chinese government and its Western counterparts. But while much has been written on Falun Gong’s relation to political issues, no one has analyzed in depth what its practitioners actually believe and do. The Religion of Falun Gong remedies that omission, providing the first serious examination of Falun Gong teachings. Benjamin Penny argues that in order to understand Falun Gong, one must grasp the beliefs, practices, and texts of the movement and its founder, Li Hongzhi. Contextualizing Li’s ideas in terms of the centuries-long Chinese tradition of self-cultivation and the cultural world of 1980s and ’90s China—particularly the upwelling of biospiritual activity and the influx of translated works from the Western New Age movement—Penny shows how both have influenced Li’s writings and his broader view of the cosmos. An illuminating look at this controversial movement, The Religion of Falun Gong opens a revealing window into the nature and future of contemporary China.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by St.Giles on the occasion of the exhibition Face Time: 27 Stories of St.Giles at Queen Victoria Art Gallery, Royal Park, Launceston March 3 until June 25, 2023 Face Time tells the stories of those connected to Tasmanian disability service provider in their own words. "The 1937 polio pandemic is at the heart of St.Giles’ existence and in 2020, another pandemic gifted us time to reflect. We used those pandemic years wisely and collected interviews from Tasmanians connected to St.Giles, which is among only a handful of Australian disability organisations that has survived the 85 years since the polio pandemic. In naming the publication and the accompanying exhibition at QVMAG Royal Park Launceston, Face Time, we have sought to contemporise St.Giles. As an organisation, however, St.Giles’ foundations of care, compassion and connection are eternal. Face Time: 27 Stories of St.Giles, the book, launched at the start of our 85th year, explores how diverse individuals stay connected to St.Giles."

Download or read book A Door in the Ocean written by David McGlynn and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2012-06-08 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a warm September night in 1991, in a quiet neighborhood north of Houston, Texas, David McGlynn's closest friend and teammate on the high school swimming team is found murdered on his living room floor. As the crime goes unsolved and his friends turn to drugs and violence, McGlynn is vulnerable, rootless, searching for answers. He is drawn into the eccentric and often radical world of evangelical Christianity—a journey that leads him to a proselytizing campus fellowship in Southern California, on a mission to Australia, and to Salt Lake City, where a second swimming–related tragedy leaves him doubting the authenticity of his beliefs. In his post–evangelical life, he finds himself exiled from his parents, plunged into financial chaos, and caught off–guard by the prospect of fatherhood. A new job offers hope for a new beginning, until the possibility of losing his newborn son forces him to confront the nature of everything he believes. The memoir's concluding chapter, which appeared in The Best American Sports Writing 2009, celebrates the author's love for swimming, the enduring metaphor for his faith and the setting for many of his life's momentous occasions. Rough Water charts the violent origins of one young man's faith and the struggle to find meaning in the midst of life's painful uncertainties.
