Church Leadership

We Shall Be Changed

Questions for the Post-Pandemic Church Edited by Mark D. W. Edington How will we regather the church after the pandemic? The COVID-19 pandemic is an inflection point for the church everywhere— and certainly for the Episcopal Church. The sudden flowering of creativity, connection, and collaboration is an expression of the Holy Spirit’s relentless presence within the church; yet ongoing distancing creates difficulties to be overcome on the other side of the present crisis. We Shall Be Changed is a gathering of brief essays from thought leaders around the church on pressing topics that the church needs to be considering now—in preparation for the end of this pandemic. The book is designed to spur conversation within parishes, fellowship groups, and clergy gatherings about how to embrace the gifts this time has given while anticipating and addressing the very real challenges the church will confront in its wake. Contributors include: Miroslav Volf, Paul-Gordon Chandler, Kelly Brown-Douglas, Cameron Partridge, Miguel Escobar, and Lorenzo Lebrija.

Healing / Devotion

Recovering Benedict

Twelve-Step Living and the Rule of Benedict John Edward Crean Jr. Recovering Benedict encourages us to nourish our physical and spiritual lives using the Rule of Benedict and the twelve-step recovery principles of Alcoholics Anonymous. As the “father of Western monasticism,” Benedict pulled together various strands of monastic spirituality into a single handbook for holiness. Alcoholics Anonymous presented an equally innovative way to address alcoholism based on twelve steps drawn from numerous spiritual sources. While it took a sixthcentury Italian collating various sources to produce a handbook for spiritual life, it likewise took a twentieth-century American to pull together the spiritual principles to recover one’s physical life. John E. Crean, Jr. brings both traditions together in one handbook for living: daily meditations are inspired by the downto-earth wisdom of the Rule of Benedict, and AA’s template for sobriety and humbleness. A thoughtful daily devotional for all who wish for deeper healing, for personal use, or group study. Morehouse Publishing 9781640653269 $14.95 paper | 5.5 x 8.5 | 160 pages October 16, 2020

Christian Life / Faith

In Conversation: Samuel Wells and Stanley Hauerwas Samuel Wells and Stanley Hauerwas Facilitated by Maureen Knudsen Langdoc Two contemporary theologians, Samuel Wells and Stanley Hauerwas, add their voices to the ongoing conversation about Christian life in the twenty-first century. “Stanley and Sam have a rare gift for making things fresh, turning familiar questions around and genuinely inviting you to learn, as they have so manifestly learned from their friendship. A welcome shaft of spiritual clarity in a very wintry season for Western society.” —The Most Rev. Rowan Williams, 104th Archbishop of Canterbury The third book in the In Conversation series dives deeply into the theological and personal ideas and motivations for the work of two prominent Christian thinkers. Readers will discover their thoughts on the Trinity, parish ministry, and non-violence, along with anecdotes and intimate notions on marriage, family, and even baseball. Followers of Wells’ and Hauerwas’ theological and homiletical work will find out what has influenced them most, and where they’d like to go from here. Church Publishing 9781640652774 $14.95 paper | 6 x 9 | 144 pages October 17, 2020

Advent

Preparing Room

An Advent Companion Russell J. Levenson Jr. Explore the biblical context for Advent in this series of contemplations. “Whenever Russ speaks or writes, I listen or read. He has the heart of a pastor and the skill of a poet. So grateful for him and this book.” —Max Lucado, author The pieces of the beginning of the Christian story come together, not from one set of hands, but many. For instance, in the four Gospels, Mark makes no mention of the events leading up to and surrounding the birth of Jesus. John, for the most part, points back to Genesis. Most of the historical pieces come to us primarily from Matthew and Luke. The scriptures together are the key to telling the story of the season. Allusions and references to other scriptures are accompanied by brief meditations so that readers may step more deeply into the Advent story and find its meaning and impact for their own lives.

Lent

A Path to Wholeness A Lenten Companion Russell J. Levenson Jr.

For those seeking inspiration and devotion for Lent and beyond. A Path to Wholeness is an invitation to Lenten observance through Biblical passages and reflections. The ache of the human heart has always been to be made whole. The thrust of the Christian hope is that it can only come to that wholeness by way of a personal relationship with God, through Christ. This book is intentionally written as an avenue towards deepening, strengthening, and for some, beginning such a relationship during the forty days of Lent. This thoughtful book, focusing on Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, is part of a four-part series on seasonal observances and devotions. RUSSELL J. LEVENSON JR. has been an ordained Episcopal priest for nearly thirty years.

Christian Living / Social Issues

Eldercare as Art and Ministry Irene V. Jackson-Brown This book addresses the fact that, despite the inevitability of aging, the vast majority of us are ill-prepared for eldercare. “Irene has been one of the church’s great treasures for many years. Now, through personal stories and insights she shares her wisdom and experience in a book that is nothing less than a treasure trove of blessings.” —The Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church and author of Songs My Grandma Sang Eldercare as Art and Ministry broadens and deepens an understanding of eldercare as an art and as a ministry. As art, eldercare requires creativity, imagination, and perseverance. Here, ministry is considered in its fullest meaning, to include guiding, administering, serving, waiting upon, or acting as a loved one’s agent. Through stories, lessons, and poignant vignettes, Jackson-Brown calls each one of us—whether young or older, ordained or laity, fortunate or less fortunate, prepared or not—to serve and care for an aging loved one. For lay people and professionals, this book is a guide to navigate the challenges of eldercare and to find meaning in this important work.

Walking the Way of Love Edited by Courtney Cowart Foreword by Michael B. Curry The presiding bishop’s advisors lay out a step-by-step way to nurture a profound friendship with God in Christ. Walking the Way of Love is organized according to seven practices (Turn, Learn, Pray, Worship, Bless, Go, and Rest) and three ways of being (We Seek Love; We Seek Freedom; and We Seek Abundant Life).

The seven simple practices spelled out in this book—by highly experienced teachers and practitioners—will enhance the reader’s spiritual growth and open up love, freedom, and abundant life. The stories and wisdom of these advisors will be helpful not just to seekers of faith, but also supportive to faith leaders who are guiding others in their development across the church.

Clergy / Women’s Ministry

Embodied

Clergy Women and the Solidarity of a Mothering God Lee Ann M. Pomrenke For women raising children while leading in ministry, life is a deep set of particular blessings intertwined with challenges. “This book is an invitation to reflect on our internalized gender stereotypes and attitudes with and within the Church. Embodied creates a platform for muchneeded deep conversations about the role and space of clergy mothers in the church in today’s world.” —Miguelina Howell, Dean, Christ Church Cathedral, Hartford, Connecticut The book is for clergy who are also mothers, with powerful encouragement to share the teeth-gritting beauty of this tension with those who can support us. Stories worthy of tears, chuckles, or groans from the lives of “clergy mamas” may echo the reader’s as the author confronts the assumptions people make about mothers who lead. Every chapter ends with reflection questions for clergy mothers—and some specifically for the people who need to engage with them.

Church Publishing 9781640653092 $14.95 paper | 5.5 x 8.5 | 144 pages September 17, 2020

The exhortations of this book are grounded in solid theological reflection. Ultimately, the author points to a practical, lived theology of the determined assertion that every Christian—not just mama, not just the clergy—is crucial to raising the family of God. LEE ANN M. POMRENKE was ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America in 2005 and has served congregations in Montana, Virginia, and Minnesota. She has strong ties with clergywomen across ecumenical lines and is in the thick of pastor-mothering herself.

On the Emmaus Road

A Guide for Transitions in Ordained Leadership Mary Brennan Thorpe How can a church best respond when their priest tells them “I’m retiring,” or “I’ve been called to another parish?” This book outlines receiving a new ordained leader, recognizing that every parish is different. Discerning exactly what your parish needs can be both a challenge and a joy, and On the Emmaus Road affirms that you can listen to God’s voice while attending to other day-to-day tasks. Based upon several years of doctoral research into the work of search committees in the Diocese of Virginia, this book has been refined through the experience of using its new methodologies in over seventy-five calls. With both traditional and creative new approaches to the clergy search process, Thorpe gives a wealth of resources for your parish to not only survive the days to come, but thrive in the midst of them.

Preaching Black Lives (Matter)

Available Now!

Edited by Gayle Fisher-Stewart

Preaching Black Lives (Matter) is an anthology that asks, “What does it mean to be church where if Black lives matter?” Prophetic imagination would have us see a future in which all Christians would be free of the soul-warping belief and practice of racism. This collection of reflections is an incisive look into that future today. It explains why preaching about race is important in the elimination of racism in the church and society, and how preaching has the ability to transform hearts. While programs, protests, conferences, and laws are all important and necessary, less frequently discussed is the role of the church, specifically the Anglican Church and Episcopal Church, in ending systems of injustice. The ability to preach from the pulpit is mandatory for every person, clergy or lay, regardless of race, who has the responsibility to spread the gospel. For there’s a saying in the Black church, “If it isn’t preached from the pulpit, it isn’t important.”

You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.” A Little Blue Bottle doesn’t provide pat answers or heavy-handed messages about life or death but allows the grieving child to articulate her loss and her love for the deceased friend, while wondering how God is near when we suffer. A gentle and insightful resource for children who are grieving, and for those who care for them.

Mrs. Wednesday died last Thursday, or maybe the week before. All I know is, ever since then, nothing feels the same anymore. “I remember when Mr. Wednesday died,” my Mama says to me. “It was before you were even born.” “Muriel was his cat,” I tell her. “Mrs. Wednesday told me that.”

Children / Grief and Bereavement

Mom and Dad in Heaven Alf K. Walgermo Illustrated by Øyvind Torseter Mom and Dad in Heaven tells the moving story of a young girl struggling to understand her parents’ untimely deaths in an accident. Mary has many questions and the pat answers she receives from her grandparents, teachers, friends aren’t enough. In the desire to make sense of her loss—and with the gentle, loving responses of those around her—Mary begins to address her grief. Over the course of these first few months of her bereavement, she also asks questions about faith, God, and heaven. Originally published in Norway as Mor og far i himmelen (Mother and Father in Heaven), this new edition is beautifully illustrated by Øyvind Torseter. Written as diary entries, the book is set at a third–fifth grade reading level. Elementary school children who may be grappling with loss and grief will find Mary’s story accessible and comforting as they navigate their feelings and questions together. ALF K. WALGERMO is the author of several critically acclaimed Norwegian books for children, youth, and adults. His works have been translated into eight languages. Walgermo also works as a newspaper editor.

Living on the Plain The Gospel of Luke Mike Stone

A devotional guide following the Gospel of Luke, for individuals, small group study, or sermon preparation. The Gospel of Luke is relevant for today’s Christian seeking insights on prayer, common humanity, communal equality, and stewardship. Angels, genealogies, miracles, and parables are rendered accessible, and transformed from skimming material to the real heart of the Gospel. This transformation is an invitation for refining one’s faith. In a day-by-day, story-by-story format, Living on the Plain re-tells the Christian journey through fifty-eight reflections for reading the Gospel of Luke that can be used as a daily devotion for personal or group Bible study at any time of the year.

With a shared understanding of our deepest held Christian values, the editors look forward to what the future brings for our collective worship lives and our missional lives as bearers of Christ to a troubled and broken world.
