Bearing Witness in Hope

<p>Has the Church lost sight of her original vocation of living out her mission by serving the world?</p><p>There is a prevailing ecclesiology of fatalism which suggests that it has and that there is nothing to do be done about. <em>Bearing Witness in Hope</em> argues however that the church still has a role in bearing witness fruitfully and creatively even within a context of crisis. Leading thinkers offer theoretical contextual and practical responses to encourage a renewed love for the church and renewed energy to bear witness appropriately and creatively.</p><p>Chapters include:<br /><br />*Richard Bauckham - on New Testament perspectives on a church in crisis<br />*Alister McGrath - challenging the narrative of decline<br />*Rev Dr Carlton Turner - on BAME Presence and the Witness of Diversity and Inclusion<br />*Dr Susie Snyder - on attending to those on the margins</p>
