The Church of England and Military Intervention, from Suez to Ukraine
The central questions shaping this book revolve around how the Church of England's engagement in the public sphere has changed over time, and how Anglicans more broadly have participated in public debates over military intervention. The established church has sometimes been said to have 'voice, access and influence', though the extent of this has clearly reduced over time according to some commentators, and it's impact has been particularly limited when it comes to international affairs. Nonetheless, establishment does still bring certain advantages, and one of the questions we explore will be how that has changed over time, and whether the reduced social status of and support for traditional institutionalised religion has reduced the Church of England's ability to contribute to debate and policy.
Encounter
"I felt like I was there ...""... gut wrenching and very beautiful""I've never thought about it that way before ...""Honest, vivid, and deeply moving - a must-read for anyone stepping into cross-cultural mission." - Mike Raiter, Director, Centre for Biblical PreachingNervous, na簿ve and overseas for the first time, Ian and Heather Reilly volunteer to teach in Samoa, but instead spend days battling a devastating cyclone.Emerging to a shattered world without power, water, and running out of food, they prepare lessons by candlelight, and struggle to teach indigenous teenagers by "chalk and talk". They find the oppressive climate conspires with mystifying cultural behaviour to outwit and outlast their every effort, and they lack the superhuman energy necessary to achieve anything enduring. Journeying with them, readers lurch from comedy to tragedy, as ordinary, relatable people (flawed, vulnerable and sometimes frightened) face violence and suffering. Immersing us into their lived experience, we feel the sweat on our face, tears in our eyes, and hear Jesus speak ancient wisdom into our present moment.ENCOUNTER is more than a great story exploring the confluence of culture and world view. It challenges deeply held beliefs about indigenous cultures, our understanding of justice, identity, poverty, overseas aid and economic development.Culture shock in a page turner.

You will find it to be an excellent resource for taking up exhaustive Gita study individually or in a group setting. The font and page size is large, and there is ample margin on sides for taking notes.Set against the thunderous backdrop of the battlefield of Kurukshetra, the Bhagavad-Gita unfolds as a timeless dialogue between the warrior Arjuna and his divine charioteer, Lord Krishna. It explores the deepest questions of dharma (righteous action), karma (cause and effect), the nature of the soul, and the fabric of reality itself.

It weaves together the wisdom of two paths-sannyasa (the path of renunciation) and karma-yoga (the path of duty and dharma)-showing that, when grounded in detachment, both lead to the same inner freedom. This chapter illuminates a knowledge that liberates: not by escape, but through clear seeing in the midst of life. It invites the seeker to transcend the pull of opposites, to move beyond craving and aversion, and to discover a stillness rooted in balance-an abiding union with the Divine.

The Transformation of Missions in the Twenty-First Century
Drawing on interviews with founders of independent missions, field work in Africa, India, and Haiti, and her experience as director of an independent mission, Carrie A. Miles explores the challenges and strengths of missions built on interpersonal relationships and spiritual capital. This book examines the rise of a new movement within Global Christianity: the independent mission. Once death-defying, residential, lifelong commitments, undertaken and supported by career professionals, a growing number of international missions are now small agencies operating without institutional support, and undertaken by volunteers who travel occasionally to the mission field but who live and work at home. Focusing on the importance of culturally respectful collaborations with national partners, this book also deals with the harm caused by missionaries who do not share that orientation. In a compelling example, Miles recounts her discovery that early missionaries to East Africa taught that God cursed humankind in Creation. Making no attempt to understand the meaning of curses in traditional religions, however, the missionaries created a devastating syncretism that persists to this day. The Transformation of Missions in the Twenty-First Century: Cross-Cultural Partnership without Syncretism argues that, in requiring cross-cultural awareness to operate, the constraints of working independently are also its strengths.
