Except for Bibles and hymnbooks, no other book has been read and appreciated by as many United Church people. From what to wear and where to sit at church to theology and ethics, Ralph Milton covers it all with his signature easygoing style. Updated with new statistics, and expanded to reflect a church that is reconciling the past and celebrating the future, this third edition is both informative and revealing, and just in time for The United Churchs 75th Anniversary celebrations.

This "reinterpretation" of the Statement of Faith adopted by the United Church of Christ in 1959 includes a description of the process that led to the original interpretation, and boldly indicates where the statement expresses firm convictions and where it encourages continuing discussions.

For most people in England today, the church is simply the empty building at the end of the road, visited for the first time, if at all, when dead. It offers its sacraments to a population that lives without rites of passage, and which regards the National Health Service rather than the National Church as its true spiritual guardian. Here, Scruton argues that the Anglican Church is the forlorn trustee of an architectural and artistic inheritance that remains one of the treasures of European civilization. He contends that it is a still point in the centre of English culture and that its defining texts, the King James Bible and the Book of Common Prayer are the sources from which much of our national identity derives. At once an elegy to a vanishing world and a clarion call to recognize Anglicanism's continuing relevance, Our Church is a graceful and persuasive book.

Our spiritual practices carry us through the times of transition in our lives, when we wander in a metaphorical desert. For migrants, refugees, and immigrants, the journey is more than a metaphor. Daily reflections by diverse contributors invite us to reflect on and embody God’s welcome and love for people who are on the move for a variety of reasons. A study guide for groups is included.

This book, in light of the fractures within the United Church of Christ (UCC), encourages the members of the UCC to have meaningful discussions about the word "covenant". It is the author's hope that her resource will bring people together around this one word and show that, even with a diversity of views, people have more things in common than not in common. It contains nine thought-provoking sessions that explore the concept of covenant as it relates to the Hebrew Testament; Jesus Christ; God; our UCC heritage; the wider UCC; autonomy; and more.

Join me in an adventure of moving a local church in western Pennsylvania from the traditional 1950’s style to a 21st century missions-minded contemporary congregation. In The Call you’ll find insights into the challenges of leading a church into uncharted waters, through the biblical teaching of effective evangelism and discipleship. Discover how the Bible, vision, creativity, teamwork, and more, relate to today’s postmodern churches. You are invited to share in the surprising love of God found just a few miles northeast of the city of Pittsburgh PA. The Call will encourage your congregation, regardless of your size. The Call encourages us to build a church on the foundation of scripture and address her specific needs. With resolve and perseverance, we can minister successfully to REACH, TOUCH, and BLESS our spheres of influence for Christ!
