Church Meets World by Winnie Varghese
The New Churchs Teaching series has been one of the most recognizable and useful sets of books in the Episcopal Church. With the launch of the Churchs Teachings for a Changing World series, visionary Episcopal thinkers and leaders have teamed up to revitalize the series with fresh voices and style, making it grounded and thoughtful enough for seminarians and leaders, yet concise and clear enough for newcomers.
A leading thinker and vibrant presence at the intersection of church and world, Winnie Varghese explores the what, how, and why of Episcopal engagement with contemporary social issues. Like the master of the household in Jesus parable (Matthew 13:52) who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old, Varghese leads readers to discover theological resources from generations past and how they help to guide our action around thorny issues like racial justice, gender and sexuality, economic disparity, definitions of family, the environment, and much more.
