That We May Be One
Transcending divisions and healing the broken Body of Christ. Disunity is a reality within churches today. Left unaddressed, political disagreements and racial inequities can fester into misunderstanding, resentment, and anger. But often the act of addressing this discord prompts further animosity, widening fissures into gaping fault lines between fellow members of the same community. Gary Agee, a pastor well-versed in leading diverse congregations, reflects here on the roots of division within the church and the virtues and practices that can promote the restoration of unity. With disarming honesty and humility, Agee offers sage advice gleaned from Scripture and years of practical experience to show how we might fulfill Jesus’s prayer on behalf of the church: “That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. . . . That they may be one as we are one.” At the end of each chapter, Agee includes exercises, discussion questions, and suggested practices, providing a concrete path to unity through dialogue and action.
That They May Be One
"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. ... I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one-- I in them and you in me--so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." (Jn 17:20-23) In That They May Be One, pastor and professor Gary Agee offers personal and pastoral reflections of his own journey towards embracing unity with the other. His humorous anecdotes and thoughtful insights invite others to consider how his experiences are also t...
Daniel Rudd
Gary Agee offers a compelling look at the life and work of the visionary who found inspiration in his Catholic faith to fight for the principles of liberty and justice. Born into slavery, Rudd achieved success early on as the publisher of the American Catholic Tribune, one of the most successful black newspapers of its era, and as the founder of the National Black Catholic Congress.
A Cry for Justice
Daniel A. Rudd, born a slave in Bardstown, Kentucky, grew up to achieve much in the years following the Civil War. His Catholic faith, passion for activism, and talent for writing led him to increasingly influential positions in many places. One of his important early accomplishments was the publication of the American Catholic Tribune, which Rudd referred to as "the only Catholic journal owned and published by colored men." At its zenith, the Tribune, run out of Detroit and Cincinnati, where Rudd lived, had ten thousand subscribers, making it one of the most successful black newspapers in the country. Rudd was also active in the leadership of the Afro-American Press Association, and he was ...

Images of Faith
In the late 20th century, the Anderson University School of Theology faculty designed the content of the stained glass window as an aid for public and private worship. Prayerful thought was given to each word and symbol. In the early 21st century, the School of Theology faculty, through the ministry of proclamation, has attempted to interpret the message of the stained glass for a new generation. Each written sermon in this publication was presented in a live worshiping community. These were not theological papers but biblical sermons prepared as a part of worship. As the stained glass window continues to inspire our hearts, we trust this sermon series may inform our minds as we seek to keep our eyes on Jesus, the “author and perfecter of our faith.â€
