World As Sacrament
$24.95Not a few figures-writers, poets, activists, teachers-have focused on the presence of the Holy One in the ordinary, on the many possibilities of worldly spirituality.

Can A Renewal Movement Be Renewed
$27.99There is no doubt that ecumenism occupies a prominent place in the history of the church in the twentieth century: countless churches have been renewed through encounter with Christian sisters and brothers in other confessions and cultures. But it is not clear that this ecumenical impulse will continue to figure prominently in the church’s story.
In this book Michael Kinnamon argues that the ecumenical movement, which has given such energy and direction to the church, needs to be reconceived in a way that provides renewing power for the church in this era — and he shows how this might happen. He names the problems with ecumenism, identifies strengths and accomplishments upon which the church now can build, and suggests practical, concrete steps we can take in the direction of revitalization, especially at the local level.

Wounded Visions : Unity Justice And Peace In The World Church After 1968
$27.99In Wounded Visions Jonas Jonson, who was directly involved with the ecumenical movement for forty years, offers an inside look at an ever-changing global Christianity. Reviewing developments in ecumenism from the 1960s to the 21st century, Jonson discusses the decolonization of mission, interreligious relations, “God’s preferential option for the poor,” and unity in diversity. He also maps the global ecumenical landscape and presents “the fourth church” — comprising charismatic, Pentecostal, and evangelical movements of the 20th century.
How did the ecumenical movement respond to the fall of communism, the opening of China, and the globalization of financial markets? Why did so many big churches, caught in the whirlwind of change, retreat from their ecumenical commitments in order to promote and protect their own interests? Jonson addresses these questions and more in this comprehensive review of global Christianity and the ecumenical movement.

Open Place : The Ministry Of Group Spiritual Direction
$28.95Written from an ecumenical standpoint as a practical aid for moving those experienced in individual spiritual direction toward group practices
This book responds to the movement to expand spiritual direction beyond the classic one-with-one model. Group spiritual direction as the potential to offer the rich experience of individual spiritual direction to a much wider audience, yet very little has been written to provide guidance for starting such groups.
This book responds to that challenge. It outlines ways that a diverse and ecumenical group of spiritual directors worked to initiate groups in multiple contexts. It examines the many variables – among directors, directees, even meeting spaces – that affect and enliven this ministry. And it summarizes pitfalls, successes, and discoveries.
