Description: This work presents a series of theological reflections in support of the World Council of Churches' Decade to Overcome Violence (DOV), 2001-2010. In an era of conflict, injustice and inhumanity, churches and other religious organisations are renewing their efforts to 'seek the things that make for peace'. As part of the DOV initiative, the WCC has sponsored a series of ecumenical consultations on overcoming violence. This book contains a discussion of insights and challenges that have arisen during the course of consultations conducted under the auspices of the WCC's Commission on Faith and Order. They address such subjects as: affirming human dignity and the integrity of creation; reawakening the church's responsibility regarding the use and abuse of power; and, being peacebearers and becoming peacemakers. The reflections invite people of faith to become more deeply involved in confronting the spirit of a violent age. They describe the 'foretaste of grace' that is our hope for God's transformation of the world.

Description: In arousing the power within, the challenge is to free up consciousness from the external world by collecting and focusing attention on an object, person, holy word, or concept. Eventually, attention or concentration matures into a state of meditation. Through deeper meditations on higher ideals, we arouse our inner spiritual power. The more centered and open our acts of concentration, and the larger our thoughts and feelings, the more our consciousness is able to intuit an ultimate Truth, within and without. Eventually, a state of uninterrupted absorption occurs in which we are able to discern higher Reality as our core Self.

Description: An enduring legacy of the Ecumenical Decade -- Churches in Solidarity with Women (1988-98), is the rich treasury of new liturgical, spiritual and artistic resources which it has generated. Through prayers, meditations, poems and reflections, women around the world, living in different social and cultural contexts and drawing on diverse church traditions, have shared their longing for a new community in Christ. They have spoken of their sorrow and pain -- "These wounds have driven me to write down my thoughts on all things", says a 14-year-old Bosnian refugee in one of the contributions to this book -- but have also celebrated their joys and hopes. This new collection of these creative expressions, largely taken from Decade-related events and publications, is an ideal resource for individual meditation, group reflection and the preparation of ecumenical worship services. Included are a series of mediations for Holy Week and some 20 songs of prayer and praise.

Description: This is an important collection of the historical work presented at the Tantur Ecumenical Center conference in Jerusalem held in the spring of 1997.The Tantur conference commemorated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the center's founding with a gathering of internationally known ecumenists who represent many decades of serious engagement with Christian dialogue. Their resulting work is an inimitable assessment of the current state of ecumenical relations more than three decades after the Second Vatican Council. Ecumenism "takes the pulse" of ecumenical relationships by making realistic judgments about future prospects for greater Christian unity. This volume is a pledge for the future of religious unity and a valuable resource for all those interested in the state of ecumenism in Christianity today.

Description: For many people, particularly in the West, bilateral exchanges between their group or local church and an overseas partner have become an important part of church life. Such exchanges provide concrete experiences of what mission and ecumenism mean. In this book, Lothar Bauerochse analyses partnerships between German and African churches. The original German study goes into considerable detail: this English version outlines the main findings and highlights the opportunities, challenges and problems of such enterprises. The book deals with fundamental questions linked to missiology, development and ecumenical or intercultural learning. It seeks to formulate guidelines for enhancing true ecumenical partnerships and is essential reading for anyone planning such a relationship.

Description: These dialogues began in 1993 as an outgrowth of a 1990 conference on Catholic-Jewish relations that commemorated the 25th anniversary of Nostra Aetate, the Vatican II document encouraging dialogue between the Catholic church and non-Christian religions. This volume contains a record of the first five Nostra Aetate dialogues, and it brings together an impressive array of Jewish and Catholic scholars. The conversations here take up "the Jewishness of Jesus" (John Meier and Shaye Cohen); "the Death of Jesus" (the late Raymond Brown and Michael Cook); "Catholic-Jewish Dialogue and the New Millennium" (Ismar Schorsch and John Cardinal O'Connor); "Jerusalem in Jewish and early Christian Thought" (Robert Wilkins and Michael Fishbane); and Abraham Joshua Heschel as "prophet of social activism" (Eugene Borowitz and Daniel Berrigan). Moderators and respondents include religion journalist Peter Steinfels, Rabbi Burton Visotzky and Susannah Heschel, Abraham Joshua Heschel's daughter. The volume is a solid introduction to some of the most important historical work on Christian origins, Jewish-Christian relations and the historical Jesus. The discussion of contemporary issues, especially between Brown and Cook and between Heschel and Berrigan, is lively and accessible. This collection serves as a model for interreligious dialogue.
