| Description: |
Sometimes it takes disruption and loss to break us open and call us home to God. 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. This book invites us to surrender privilege and redefine church, not just for the sake of others, but for our own salvation and liberation. Chapters: Introduction – on being cracked open; The reality of disruption and decline; New hope for beloved community; The origins of the nightmare; The church of empire; Shards of light; Lose your life – kenosis; Gain your life – solidarity; Walk in love – discipleship; Conclusion – God bless the cracks. |
