Faithful Witness in a Fractured World

Faithful Witness in a Fractured World

Michael T Snarr
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Christians have always looked to models within the Christian faith to guide their lives. At a time when the church is identifiable more by ugly partisan division than by compassionate neighbor love and concern for the entire created order--what we call "crappy Christianity"--this book highlights the lives and work of seven individuals who are pursuing their Christian calling in humility and profound love for and service to others. Their commitments have led to vocations in working with homeless women, employing refugees, lobbying on Capitol Hill for environmental protection, healing trauma in urban communities, peacemaking in Israel-Palestine, advocating for immigrants, and walking alongside people in addiction recovery. Their individual and collective witness offer compelling examples of authentic Christian life, which is marked in part by active, embodied faith in pursuit of the common good; a broad and inclusive love for all people; rightly ordered political identities and loyalties; and a commitment to work toward holistic redemption of both people and the systems that constitute our life together. In contrast to much of contemporary American Christianity, these models of faith demonstrate that Christians should focus much more on what we are for rather than what we are against.
