Download or read book America s Original Sin written by Jim Wallis and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's problem with race has deep roots, with the country's foundation tied to the near extermination of one race of people and the enslavement of another. Racism is truly our nation's original sin. "It's time we right this unacceptable wrong," says bestselling author and leading Christian activist Jim Wallis. Fifty years ago, Wallis was driven away from his faith by a white church that considered dealing with racism to be taboo. His participation in the civil rights movement brought him back when he discovered a faith that commands racial justice. Yet as recent tragedies confirm, we continue to suffer from the legacy of racism. The old patterns of white privilege are colliding with the changing demographics of a diverse nation. The church has been slow to respond, and Sunday morning is still the most segregated hour of the week. In America's Original Sin, Wallis offers a prophetic and deeply personal call to action in overcoming the racism so ingrained in American society. He speaks candidly to Christians--particularly white Christians--urging them to cross a new bridge toward racial justice and healing. Whenever divided cultures and gridlocked power structures fail to end systemic sin, faith communities can help lead the way to grassroots change. Probing yet positive, biblically rooted yet highly practical, this book shows people of faith how they can work together to overcome the embedded racism in America, galvanizing a movement to cross the bridge to a multiracial church and a new America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not all Founding Fathers rested after retirement from the Washington scene. Benjamin Franklin, the old Founder, retired and became an elder statesman and in his last foray into public policy, he became president of the Pennsylvania Society for the Abolition of Slavery and was asked to develop a plan for the introduction of former slaves into American society. In 1789, on behalf of the society, he wrote the following policy statement with an accompanying plan: "Slavery is such an atrocious debasement of human nature that its very extirpation, if not performed with solicitous care, may sometimes open a source of serious evils To instruct, to advise, to qualify those who have been restored to freedom, for the exercise and enjoyment of civil liberties, to promote in them habits of industry, to furnish them with employment suited to their age, sex, talents, and other circumstances, and to procure their children an education calculated for their future situation in life, these are the great outlines of the annexed plan". The plan had four components, each to be carried out by a committee of the Pennsylvania Society for the Abolition of Slavery. The first component was a committee to assist with advice, instructions, and protection from wrongs to the former slaves, concern for their morals and "other friendly services." The second was a committee of guardians to facilitate the training and education of children and young people. The third was a committee on education to influence the children to attend "the schools already established in this city, or form others with this view." The fourth was a committee of employ, who "shall endeavour to procure constant employment" for laborers and to help them become apprentices in the skilled trades and also "assist in commencing business, such as appears to be qualified for it." Unfortunately, the United States and its majority citizens did not constitute a comprehensive plan to accommodate former slaves; in fact, we did everything to place obstacles in the life of our African-American brothers and sisters for the next two centuries. The last chapter of this book gives the only answer which will unburden our nation of the after effects of the "peculiar institution". The first 27 chapters relive the journey of generations of African Americans through our American history.
Download or read book T F Torrance in Recollection and Reappraisal written by Bruce Ritchie and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is perhaps the most engaging and readable introduction to T. F. Torrance’s theology around. The author writes from the perspective of having been a student in Torrance’s theology class in Edinburgh when Torrance was at the height of his powers, painting a fascinating picture of Torrance in action as a teacher. The book sets Torrance’s theology in context by placing it in relation to liberal Protestantism on the one hand and traditional Calvinism on the other. It explores Torrance’s methodology; it offers insights on how he linked incarnation and atonement; and it also suggests how some of Torrance’s ideas may be extended in order to result in an even more integrated and cohesive theology. This book is a must, not only for Torrance readers, but for all lovers of theology.

Book excerpt: After falling in love and making a quick exit from her nine-year career in the USAWMD (United States Agency for Weapons of Mass Destruction), ex-spy Sally Sin does her best to become Lucy Hamilton, a stay-at-home mom in San Francisco. No one, not even her adoring husband Will, knows about her secret agent escapades -- chasing no-good masterminds through perilous jungles, escaping evil assassins, and playing dangerous games of cat and mouse with her old nemesis, Ian Blackford, a notorious and dashing illegal arms dealer. In her new life as Lucy Hamilton, she squeezes inside forts crafted from couch cushions by her three-year-old son Theo, makes organic applesauce, and frequents the zoo. But sometimes her well-honed spy reflexes refuse to lay low. She can't help breaking into her own house to check on the babysitter or stop herself from tossing the yoga instructor who gets on her nerves. And when Ian Blackford, who is supposed to be dead, once again starts causing trouble for the USAWMD, the agency becomes desperate to get Sally back on the job. How can Sally or Lucy or whatever her name is save the planet while at the same time keeping her own family's world from spinning out of control? Every bit as much fun as a spy-mom thriller ought to be, Original Sin is a fast-paced adventure story for mothers and spies, and anyone who has ever dreamed about being either.
