Beskrivning

A fresh perspective on how liturgy can support social justice workProclaim! 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.

Recensioner i media

“In Proclaim! Marcus Halley calls the Church to the primary missiological significance of the Eucharist. He reminds readers that the Eucharist both draws us closer to Jesus as disciples while also empowering us and sending us as apostles of the mission of God. This book stands in the long tradition of Anglican missiology by emphasizing that our worship has everything to do with God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation in the world. It is a wise and urgent call for the Church in this new missional age.” —The Rt. Rev. Ian T. Douglas, Bishop Diocesan, The Episcopal Church in Connecticut
