Description: Many of today's conflicts reflect the tension between ethnic groups or nations. In such situations, Christians and the churches are called to be agents of reconciliation. But sometimes the 'fault lines' between the churches coincide with - rather than challenge and heal - those in society. In their division, the churches often mirror, or even intensify, tensions between particular ethnic groups and nations. The results are often destructive, even deadly. This study draws on biblical scholarship, theological reflection, and social scientific research as well as the experience and reflection of local churches in Fiji, the Sudan, Northern Ireland, Sri Lanka and elsewhere. Grounded in the imperative for unity, it offers theological and practical resources for Christians and churches in situations of conflict. Relating the search for Christian unity to the church's work for just reconciliation and healing, this book will be a valuable tool for churches, ecumenical study groups, local congregations - for all who seek to offer a Christian witness in the midst of conflict.

Virtual Christianity: Potential And Challenge For The Churches

Description: How is the emerging Internet culture affecting Christian churches? How can churches influence the formation of the "virtual" world? Should we expect to find a new form of Christian faith evolving on the web, or simply to encounter a fresh means of experiencing Christian traditions? To what extent must churches resist tendencies present in the new media? Using both theoretical and practical approaches, the authors look at interactions between the churches and the Internet. They examine new information and communication technologies, and the philosophies -- secular and religious -- that accompany them; suggest ways in which Christian communities can realise the Internet's potential for supporting and strengthening the church's witness; and give examples of how websites may assist in the rediscovery of the gospel and inspire worship based in Christianity's unique vision of God's relationship to humanity.

Description: Have you ever questioned the importance of evangelism? Have you wondered about your responsibility in evangelism? Is it for me or just for the ministers? Is evangelism important? Is it something that I must do? Do I know its importance, but don't feel called or equipped? Do I know the message of the Gospel? Do I know the Person of the Gospel? Have I dodged the issue and dodged my responsibility? These and other questions are the subject of this book. Him We Proclaim provides the foundation for the gospel message. It provides tools and resources necessary to prepare each one of us for evangelism. This book will help us learn the roles and responsibilities of being a disciple of Jesus Christ, His ambassador, His witness, and His shepherd. It will prepare us for the issues and questions which people raise and discover how to answer according to God's Holy Word. Further, Him We Proclaim presents a plan for ecumenical evangelism, called SEEK, (Salvation through Ecumenical Evangelism for the Kingdom of God), uniting Christians in a ministry to preach the gospel and spread the Kingdom. William H. Wetmore holds graduate degrees from both Duke University and Lehigh University, leading to a successful career in engineering science. He was a Division Director at the National Science Foundation before becoming Associate Dean of Engineering at West Virginia University. He has been the speaker at many Christian conferences and is the President of SEEK Ministries, sponsoring ecumenical evangelism with a group of approximately 20 churches in Moore County, North Carolina. He is the author of two other books, GOD'S HIDDEN TREASURES (THE PARABLES OF JESUS) and YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN. He and his wife, Nancy, live in North Carolina and are active in many Christian ministries.
