Walk Humbly with the Lord
In June of 1910, delegates gathered in Edinburgh for the first World Missionary Conference. One hundred years later, the 2010 Church and Mission in a Multireligious Third Millennium conference sought to reconcile a century of seismic shifts in the worldwide landscape of the church with its ongoing mandate to make disciples of all nations. Arising out of that recent conference, Walk Humbly with the Lord presents a broad, multinational spectrum of contemporary approaches to both theology and missiology. Recognizing that the old Western notion of Christendom which formed the cultural backdrop of Edinburgh 1910 is now long obsolete, the book s twenty-seven forward-thinking contributors respond t...
Discovering God Through Action and Reflection
The See, Judge, Act or Review of Life methodology, initially articulated by Fr (later Cardinal) Joseph Cardijn in the early 1900s, has become widely accepted in the Catholic Church and in many other churches as an effective method of evangelisation. However, unfortunately, See, Judge, Act has frequently become simply a slogan lacking precise content or it has been used to describe approaches that do not take all the elements intended fully into account. To address this challenge in its own ranks, the International Young Christian Students (IYCS) International Team of 2003-2007 commissioned the production of this book to assist the training of its students and chaplains in this methodology as integral to its spirituality of critical reflection and action within the perspective of transforming their local and global realities. It is therefore hoped that this book will contribute to deepening the understanding of See, Judge, Act as a timeless spirituality enabling effective evangelisation or communication of the Good News proclaimed by Jesus Christ in order to bring God's justice and peace to our world.
Feminist Ethics and Natural Law
Heated debates over such issues as abortion, contraception, ordination, and Church hierarchy suggest that feminist and natural law ethics are diametrically opposed. Cristina L.H. Traina now reexamines both Roman Catholic natural law tradition and Anglo-American feminist ethics and reconciles the two positions by showing how some of their aims and assumptions complement one another. After carefully scrutinizing Aquinas’s moral theology, she analyzes trends in both contemporary feminist ethics, theological as well as secular, and twentieth-century Roman Catholic moral theology. Although feminist ethics reject many of the methods and conclusions of the scholastic and revisionist natural law s...
The Dysfunctional Church
Reduced to its simplest form, The Dysfunctional Church maintains that: -The Catholic church is an addict, an institutional addict. - It's addicted to preserving the male, celibate, clerical model of the church. - Many Catholics exhibit patterns of classic codependency which reinforce this addiction. - The result is a dysfunctional church unable to confront a problem many members know is there. Michael Crosby breaks the silence to talk openly about the abuse of authority in the Catholic church. He does this in a way that offers comfort, hope, and challenge to the frustrated but caring members of its family. He traces the historical gathering of powers by the hierarchy into its own hands and i...

New Visions of Priesting
In a series of interviews, Bob Wilkinson looks at the different ministries he has had in his almost seventy years of being a Catholic priest in Australia. The common element has been working with lay people discovering their mission in the world. He sees the church as a partner in the world, and the need to locate the Christian mission of baptism within the human mission. The human vocation is to save the planet and the vocation of Christians, and the vocation of the church, is to humanise humanity in this process. Can 'Mother' and 'Master' become 'Partner'? New Visions of Priesting, as outlined in this series of interviews, is one where the priest can imagine new styles of action: accompanying lay people to discover that mission in their daily lives.
