Book excerpt: Church growth models have often been long on promises and short on disciple-making. We continue to watch consistent church attendance shrink, and our desire to reach the lost is infected with a need for self-validation by growing our numbers at any cost. If we believe that God wants his church to grow, where do we go from here? What is the future of the church? Drawing from his 20 years and 15,000 hours of consulting, author Will Mancini shares with pastors and ministry leaders the single most important insight he has learned about church growth. With plenty of salient stories and based solidly on the disciple-making methods found in Scripture, Future Church exposes the church's greatest challenge today, and offers 7 transforming laws of real church growth so that we can faithfully and joyfully fulfill Jesus's Great Commission.

Book excerpt: It is often claimed that local churches provide a significant proportion of social care today. This important new study considers the reality of the church's involvement to offer compelling and concrete recommendations for the future. It proposes a transformational model of welfare that breaks free from the default approach of ‘eradicating the five giant evils – squalor, ignorance, want, idleness, and disease’. Instead the authors focus on fostering five assets – relationship, creativity, partnership, compassion, and joy – and empowering people to regain control of their lives.

This book, based on papers given at a colloquium run by the Religious Life Institute at Heythrop College, University of London, addresses urgent questions around the renewal and survival of religious life.Despite recent scandals and a steady diminishment of numbers since Vatican II, religious remain a powerful source of inspiration and positive energy within church and society. Fifty years after the Council, today's context and questions are different. Did the Council bring about a renewal or an implosion of religious life? Who is looking at religious vocation today? What are they seeking, and what are they finding?With a foreword by former Dominican Master General Timothy Radcliffe, leading authors on religious life, including Gregory Collins, OSB, and Christopher Jamison, OSB, explore these questions and propose answers that offer material for individual and communal reflection.

Download or read book Inclusion and Sexuality in Catholic Higher Education written by Mark A. Levand and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on research conducted at 17 Catholic universities in the United States, making it the largest study of its kind, this volume explores effective practice in improving institutional policy relating to issues of sexuality. The text calls attention to campus cultures of fear, shame, or denial around sexuality and highlights possible points of institutional resistance to changes in policy. Discussing topics such as sexual identity, sexuality education in the curriculum, Title IX, employee termination, and morality clauses, the book shows how staff and faculty are crucial in effecting change across Catholic campuses, providing valuable insight into the “unspoken rules” around sexuality within the shadow culture at Catholic institutions. Moreover, the text illustrates how institutions can maintain fidelity to Church teachings and even embrace notions of human dignity, solidarity, and the common good to achieve sexual inclusivity. A unique study demonstrating how Catholic teaching can help support inclusive change around issues of sexuality and gender in higher education, it ultimately puts forward a practical framework for effecting change and improving student and staff support structures in Catholic institutions. It will thus appeal to researchers and academics working in the fields of Higher Education Management, Gender and Sexuality in Education, Religion, Gender and Sexuality, and the Sociology of Religion.
Download or read book The Testimony of Jesus 1907 Biblical Study Notes on the Book of Revelation written by George N.H. Peters and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the author’s (George N.H. Peters) never before published 1907 study notes on the biblical book of Revelation. Mr. Peters unique approach to interpretation faithfully adheres to the the plain grammatical sense of scripture. By doing so He successfully combines biblical prophecy with oath-bound covenants (Abrahamic and Davidic) to unlock this book’s predominant symbolic language. Peters correctly identifies Jesus (not St. John) as the real source of this prophecy. He clarifies the main subject of the book as being, not a ‘Revelation’ of future events but rather, an ‘Apocalypse,’ a personal appearing. He further demonstrates through the symbols used that the ‘Day of the Lord,’ or 2nd Advent, (like the 1st Advent) will unfold in distinct stages and over a discernible period of time. Therefore, although this study is today over 100 years old the reader is instantly confronted, through this ‘Testimony,’ by Jesus, the predicted ‘Son of Man,’ righteously administering the judgements of God and proclaiming His physical return to establish His Kingdom on earth. The prophetic future series of events laid out strikes the reader as eerily similar to today’s dangerous and chaotic world.

This book was released on 2021-12-27 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Paulinus Odozor investigates whether and, if so, how the God of Jesus Christ stands in continuity with the God known to African Traditional Religions. Paul Ọlátúbọsún Àdajà addresses faith and reason in light of the current African anthropological crisis. Tegha Nji and Valery Akoh connect Ratzinger’s idea of “pro-existence” with traditional African understandings of solidarity. Jacob Phillips compares the theologies of Robert Cardinal Sarah and Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI. Dennis Kasule examines the requirements of a New Evangelization for Africa, in light of the case of Uganda. Joseph Lugalambi proposes that the Catholic liturgies of Africa are in need of reform. Mary-Reginald N. Anibueze explores the Eucharist as a socio-communitarian event. Emery de Gaál reflects upon Ratzinger/Benedict’s theology of inculturation. Joseph Ogbonnaya treats Caritas in Veritate with a focus upon the case of Nigeria. Maurice Ashley Agbaw-Ebai meditates upon Ratzinger’s understanding of political power.
