"Este libro marcar una diferencia profunda para la iglesia en este momento de la historia." -El Reverendsimo Michael B. Curry
A veces, se necesitan trastornos y prdidas para quebrarnos y abrirnos, y as llamarnos de vuelta a Dios. No es sorprendente que una pandemia mundial y un ajuste de cuentas generacional con la supremaca blanca-junto con dcadas de decadencia sistmica-hayan impulsado a cristianos de todo el mundo a preguntarse quines somos, por qu Dios nos puso aqu y qu impacto tiene eso en el mundo. En este libro crtico pero pleno de afecto, la autora explora la historia de Estados Unidos y la historia de la Iglesia Episcopal para entender cmo comunidades impregnadas de racismo, poder y privilegio pueden, por fin, enamorarse de Jess, caminar con humildad junto a los ms vulnerables y encarnar la comunidad amada de una manera nica, rota pero hermosa.
La iglesia abierta en grietas A thought-provoking series of essays that address the specific theological and practical challenges of today's Episcopal Church.
"This book will make a profound difference for the church in this moment in history." - The Most Reverend Michael B. Curry Sometimes it takes disruption and loss to break us open and call us home to God. It's not surprising that a global pandemic and once-in-a-generation reckoning with white supremacy-on top of decades of systemic decline-have spurred Christians everywhere to ask who we are, why God placed us here and what difference that makes to the world. In this critical yet loving book, the author explores the American story and the Episcopal story in order to find out how communities steeped in racism, establishment, and privilege can at last fall in love with Jesus, walk humbly with the most vulnerable and embody beloved community in our own broken but beautiful way. The Church Cracked Open invites us to surrender privilege and redefine church, not just for the sake of others, but for our own salvation and liberation.
