The Church is political because it tells a radically different story from the dominant political norms of our day. Through a study of the Church's liturgy, this book seeks to build confidence in the Church's mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Mission\u003c\/em\u003e examines five pieces of liturgy-namely morning prayer, baptism, eucharist, footwashing and the funeral-detailing in turn the ways in which the language of the liturgy, which we often take for granted, is powerful and counter-cultural. Through its analysis, the book sheds light on three principal areas: what it is to be human, the challenges of contemporary mission, and the particular way in which the Church is political.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn so doing, new resources are offered for the practicing Christian, those in Church leadership, and those looking at the Church from the outside, to reflect on and grapple with the challenges of this generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sacristy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789592702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.24d","brand":"Martin Gainsborough","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42769825693877,"sku":"9781789592702","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_59862c1f-3f13-4283-a3c2-9dba1ba0c04f.jpg?v=1678838619","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/politics-mission-rediscovering-the-political-power-of-what-christians-do-9781789592702","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
