Moving into the Ecumenical Future identifies some necessary “foundations” of any paradigm for Ecumenical Ethics. It emphasizes the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the teaching and example of Jesus, biblical foundations, and pastoral relationships in developing paradigms for Ecumenical Ethics. The book suggests that virtue ethics is an important paradigm that includes these elements. The text explores how the Faith and Order “Tool,” Receptive Ecumenism, Differentiated Consensus, Internal Polarities, and Spiritual Discernment can be used to move toward moral consensus. The author calls for a national or international task force to explore these foundations in greater depth.

Religious indifference is the belief that all religions are equally valid and able to lead people to salvation has rapidly gained global ascendency over the last five decades. It's even infected the Catholic Church, wreaking havoc on her mission to the world. Why is indifference deadly to Catholicism? Because it turns Catholicism into just another religion, it neuters the Church's role as our path to salvation and converts the parish into little more than a social gathering place. The result? Former Catholics now constitute the second largest "religion" in America. Seventy percent of Catholics do not believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist — and even higher percentages reje...
Be Strong and Courageous is the sequel to David Yount's Book-of-the-Month bestseller Growing in Faith. The popular syndicated columnist reassures believers and skeptics of all ages that having faith makes sense. He shows how faith dignifies humanity, giving fulfillment, and heals the world. As a parent writing letters to encourage and inspire his growing daughters, Yount shows how Christians can face life's challenges with faith, hope, love, and confidence. Be Strong and Courageous shows how we can pass on our rich tradition of faith in a way that is revitalizing to inspire a new generation.
The contents of this book originated in a conference at the Catholic University of America in May 2015. The essays and lectures contained within focus on the relationships of the Catholic Church with the other "Abrahamic" faiths, primarily Islam and Judaism. There is some discussion of the Asian religions as well. This volume, in structure, loosely follows the document Nostra Aetate itself. The first part of the book gives a broad view of the document and its importance. The following parts concentrates on the relationships between the Catholic Church and the Asian, Muslim and Jewish religions. The concluding section of the book surveys the reception Nostra Aetate received in various ecclesial and academic contexts.
Although the Sermon on the Mount is admired by Christians and non-Christians alike, it is widely ignored in practice. Jesus' Beatitudes are seen as optional guidelines applicable to saints but too strenuous for ordinary believers who find it hard enough to follow the Ten Commandments. In accessible and entertaining prose, Yount explores the essential messages of the Sermon in an effort to help modern believers answer the popular question " What would Jesus do?" by helping the reader understand what he did do and teach. Questions at the end of each chapter make the book ideal for individual reflection and group study.
