Dayspring, my dictionary tells me, is an archaic word meaning 'dawn.' But I have chosen Daysprings as the title for this collection of meditations for the several meanings in the ancient word and its components. I hope these brief reflections shed new light on old, familiar passages and illuminate the way through new ones. I also hope these pieces will prove to be springboards to new and creative meditation for readers, pastors, and preachers, and that they will find within these pieces an extra buoyancy for each day. Lastly, I hope these thoughts will flow like fresh, living waters through days of fast and feast, bringing refreshment. -from the Preface In his accompanying volume to Brightest and Best: A Companion to the Lesser Feasts and Fasts, Sam Portaro offers meditations for each of the weekdays for the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, and Easter. Following the lectionary texts for each day, he focuses on the seasonal themes of incarnation, manifestation, suffering, redemption, and resurrection, showing how the eternal truths of the gospel shed light on the ordinary and extraordinary events of our lives. Solidly grounded in the prayers and scriptures of these seasonal liturgies, Portaro's meditations bring fresh and powerful-sometimes pointed-insights for those who follow the daily readings and prayers of these days of the weeks in the church year as found in Lesser Feasts and Fasts. SAM PORTARO is the Episcopal chaplain to the University of Chicago and director of Brent House. He is the author of Conflict and a Christian Life, Crossing the Jordan: Meditations on Vocation, and Brightest and Best: A Companion to the Lesser Feasts and Fasts.25.95125.95Sam Portaro978156101188997815610118890007118, 12.42TPPaperbackCouverture soupleB8996557engCowley PublicationsCowley Publications1620.458.465.660.570.458.465.66112001-01-25T05:00:00ZChristian Social WitnessP10107Faith & SpiritualityCHRISTI01AChristianity GeneralREL003000, REL027000AnglicanBooks > Religion > Christianity > Anglicanhttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/1561011886.jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=enhttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/1561011886.jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=frhttps://www. indigo. ca/en-ca/christian-social-witness/9781561011889.htmlhttps://www. indigo. ca/fr-ca/christian-social-witness/9781561011889.htmlIn this volume of The New Church's Teaching Series, Harold T. Lewis surveys the teachings and witness of Anglicanism and the Episcopal Church concerning the Christian vision of a righteous social order, including the challenges of the new millennium. Beginning with the Bible's understandings of social justice, Lewis summarizes the Anglican witness of theologians like F. D. Maurice and William Temple and goes on to discuss the Episcopal Church in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Later chapters discuss the challenges of a new social order that face the church today raised by liberation theology, third-world debt and economic justice, and questions of race, gender, and human sexuality. As with each book in The New Church's Teaching Series, recommended resources for further reading and questions for discussion are included. Harold T. Lewis is rector of Calvary Church in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania and the author of Yet With a Steady Beat: The African American Struggle for Recognition in the Episcopal Church. For many years he served the national church as staff officer for Black Ministries.15.95115.95Harold T.

She asks, Why, then, should we speak of sin anymore? The only reason I can think of is because we believe that God means to redeem the world through us. "Abandoning the language of sin will not make sin go away. Human beings will continue to experience alienation, deformation, damnation and death no matter what we call them. Abandoning the language will simply leave us speechless before them, and increase our denial of their presence in our lives. | Daysprings by Barbara Brown Taylor, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
