Fruits of Grace
Before Taizé, there was Grandchamp. The lesser-known Protestant women’s community,initiated in 1936, grew out of generations of women’s groups in French-speaking Switzerland. It was heavily influenced by Wilfred Monod, the Student Christian Movement, Swiss Reformed efforts at liturgical renewal, and Bonhoeffer’s Life Together. It was so deeply affected by the angst generated by World War II and the search by European Christians for new ways to be Christian. The Fruits of Grace, authored by the third prioress of the Community of Grandchamp in Switzerland, reflects on the origins of the community, the sources and development of its spirituality, and on its ministries. Foci include the i...
A Century of Prayer for Christian Unity
This book is a celebration of the one-hundred-year history of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity and a wonderful resource for understanding the theology and practice of common prayer for the reconciliation of the churches. Contributors to this volume represent a cross-section of perspectives both denominationally including Anglican, Roman Catholic, Baptist, and Reformed as well as in light of their lived experience of Christian spirituality and prayer. Each essayist offers significant insights into the history, theology, and spirituality of the Week of Prayer in particular, and of ecumenical prayer in general. / Contributors: Catherine Clifford, Sr. Minke de Vries, Steven R. Harmon, Walter Cardinal Kasper, James Puglisi, Charles Sherlock, George Tavard.
Catholic and Ecumenical
Ecumenical consciousness has not always been part of the Catholic experience. Frederick M. Bliss, S.M. traces how the concern for ecumenism came about_from uneasy tension to confidence in the true grace of catholicity. This new edition follows significant developments in dialogues with the Catholic Church up to 2006 and suggests likely trends of continuing change. It studies the forces that had an impact on the Second Vatican Council, forces that continue to steer the church into relationships with other Christian communities, other religions, and the world.
Academic Learning in Law
This timely book calls for a critical re-evaluation of university legal education, with the particular aim of strengthening its academic nature. It emphasizes lecturers’ responsibility to challenge the assumptions students have about law, and the importance of putting law in a theoretical and social context that allows for critical reflection and sceptical detachment. In addition, the book reports upon teaching experiences and innovations, offering tools for teachers to strengthen the academic nature of legal education.
Liturgical Renewal as a Way to Christian Unity
"Since Vatican II, the Catholic church and other churches have undergone liturgical renewal. Do these renewals have anything in common and do they bring the churches and ecclesial communions into contact with each other? Liturgical Renewal and a Way to Christian Unity explores this question and brings to light the great strides the Christian churches have made toward unity."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Dwars tegen de keer
Ida Gerhardt (1905-1997) is een van de belangrijkste Nederlandse dichters. Zij schreef poëzie die haaks stond op de tijdgeest van de jaren vijftig en zestig, maar wist toch uit te groeien tot een bekend en geliefd schrijfster. Haar Verzameld Werk beleefde dertien herdrukken en in Gerrit Komrijs bloemlezing uit de Nederlandse poëzie zijn tien gedichten van haar opgenomen, het maximumaantal. Voor het eerst verschijnt nu een volledige biografie. Op basis van talrijke nieuw ontdekte archiefstukken, brieven, lezingen en ongepubliceerde gedichten schetst Mieke Koenen de verbanden tussen Gerhardts literaire werk en haar levensloop: haar gecompliceerde relatie met haar familie, gymnasiumtijd als l...
Apóstoles de la unidad
«Apóstoles de la unidad» reúne por primera vez más el testimonio vital y el pensamiento de treinta figuras de diferentes confesiones cristianas comprometidas en el ecumenismo y la reconciliación cristiana: el patriarca Atenágoras, Yves Congar, Teresa de Calcuta, Lord Halifax, Julián García Hernando, Juan XXIII, Juan Pablo II, Chiara Lubich, John Henry Newman, Roger de Taizé, Michael Ramsey... Esta obra no pretende ser un manual de ecumenismo, sino más bien un retablo de grandes personalidades contemporáneas que destacaron por vivir la unidad de la Iglesia como una vocación o especial llamada de Dios, como reto ante el que no caben nunca las medianías. «Apóstoles de la unidad» rinde homenaje a la Iglesia del Vaticano II en el cincuentenario de su clausura. El libro se completa con una amplia bibliografía.
