Church and Society by Rudi Maier,Department of World Mission Pdf

The Church has a reservoir of wisdom and truth in the Bible, and a role to play in witnessing to that truth. The Bible is full of mandates and challenges that ask us, the disciples of Jesus Christ, to "Make our light shine, so that others may see our good works and give glory to our God in heaven" (Matt 5:16).The purpose of this book--written by 34 dedicated Christian scholars and community practitioners--is to help Christ's church to understand how this "world" and the people who live in it think, feel, and react to some of the issues they face in their daily lives, and how to bring peace, justice and compassion to the society that surrounds our homes, churches, and communities.Jesus says, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God (Matt 5:9)." Shalom, which we translate as peace means more than the absence of conflict. To live in shalom, as a peacemaker, means we actively live our lives in a way that brings healing, wholeness, harmony and well being to the lives of people we meet.This is not a prescriptive book that will provide answers to all the social and missiological woes in society (though there will be some guidelines for how to start various ministries). Instead, the authors have attempted to describe some of the problems that exist in our societies and churches and have encouraged the readers as individuals, as well as groups, to find their own answers to many of the issues raised.Some of the issues raised will not be comfortable to discuss in Church circles, but we all hope that they will be treated with the same respect and compassion that Jesus gives in response to each one of our needs.

Community Rules by Ian S. Markham,Kathryn Glover Pdf

A practical guide to church community life. Taking the approach of Michael Pollan’s Food Rules, Community Rules seeks to distill the basics of “good church” into a set of memorable rules. Working with three sections, the authors draw on their years of combined experience in academic and church administration to identify the basic Christian principles that underpin Episcopal community and then apply them to actions and relationships. The book seeks to explicate the best personnel practices, as well as good governance and communal life together, alongside a framing within the Christian worldview. The goal is to provide a text that can serve as a guide for any and all members of a parish, most especially those who serve on vestries or as volunteers.

The Church and Society (Classic Reprint) by R. Fulton Cutting Pdf

Excerpt from The Church and Society It must be confessed that the policy is not without danger of abuse, but what ideal is there which may not be misrepresented by exaggeration and intemperance? Yet with government so sadly in need of the assistance that the Church might render, her refusal to recognize any rela tion to it seems to alienate her from the people Whose rational aspirations she should heartily share. The peculiar policy of the Men and Religion Movement, and one which differentiates it from the customary revival, is that it aims to leave behind it a Christianity organized. For social as well as personal religion. It presents a definite program for all who believe that making a com munity healthier, purer, more intelligent and law abiding is Christian service.

Church and Civil Society by Michael Walker Pdf

Germany and South Africa experienced drastic social transitions with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1986 and the end of Apartheid in 1994. This book consists of a collection of essays from German and South African theologians who analyse the role that religious communities had, and are still playing within the respective civil societies. The concept and texture of civil society are analysed; case studies are presented; theological perspectives are given on the relation between church, state and civil society; and guidelines are provided for the healing role that Christian religious communities can play in Germany and South Africa. This book is mainly directed at theologians and scholars in religious studies, however, sociologists and political philosophers may also find the essays informative. Besides the wide variety of theological approaches; sociological and empirical data; and practical theological perspective, the book also yields interesting comparative analysis on two societies in transition.
