DOWNLOAD EBOOKProclaim Peace examines what it means to follow the Prince of Peace in a world of violence. The book seeks not to promote any particular ideology, but rather to invite readers, especially the rising generation, to reflect seriously on the interpersonal, ethical, and social dimensions of Christian discipleship. As such, it represents a spiritual journey by two believing scholars of peace that analyzes scripture and breathes new life into familiar and beloved Restoration texts.The Restoration encompasses a rich, if somewhat underappreciated, theology of peace. The heart of that theology is captured in a few core ideas: all humans are inherently divine and eternally interrelated, enduring power can only be achieved through persuasion and love, conflict is built into creation and can be constructively transformed for godly purposes. In a world plagued by violence, it is easy to see it as an inescapable part of the human condition. But Mason and Pulsipher believe, with President Russell M. Nelson, that "peace is possible" in this world and that the "descendants of Abraham . . . are in a pivotal position to emerge as peacemakers." This book is an effort to lift up the Restoration's distinctive principles that invite its followers and friends to renounce violence and proclaim Christ's good news of love and peace to a world that desperately needs it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA fresh perspective on how liturgy can support social justice work Proclaim! is an exploration of Episcopal liturgy from a black, queer, millennial perspective, with an eye toward proclamation and justice. Part memoir, part history, part biblical studies, and part practical theology, Proclaim! suggests that the politics of our liturgical tradition is the ground from which we can engage in the justice work that our world needs. Each chapter explores theology, a biblical story, and the real-world practice of evangelism and mission. The liturgy can serve as the theological well from which we might draw wisdom to engage the issues of justice, equity, and compassion in the world today. The question is not whether or not to engage politics; rather, the question is: whose politics are being reflected? Furthermore, what shape might our lives take if we took our worship of God seriously? People who are curious about what justice looks like in the Church or who are seeking new resources to sustain their work will be affirmed in Halley’s book.
