One thing almost everyone shares is a passion for the Golden Rule. Another thing almost everyone shares is a tendency to ignore it. • Invites readers into the fascinating world of ethical decision making and compassionate cooperation. • Written for people of all faiths or none who praise the Golden Rule and yet violate it over and over again. • Looks critically at the Rule in the context of game theory to see where it works and where it doesn’t, when it is applicable and when it isn’t. MORE ABOUT THE BOOK

6 x 9, 176 pp (est)

People play two kinds of “games.” In finite zero-sum games, like football, the goal is to defeat your opponent within the fixed timeframe of the game. In infinite non-zero games, such as a loving friendship, the goal is to keep the game going by continually enhancing the status of all players so they will want to continue the game. In finite games, there are clear winners and losers; in infinite games—the most important games of life, relationships—everybody wins. This book is for people who want to play more infinite games and it presents the Golden Rule as the ultimate strategy for playing well.

We are at a critical turning point in American religious and political life over LGBTQI inclusion. By sharing ideas and experiences with each other, spiritual communities can learn the best ways to move forward. How each spiritual community approaches the question will profoundly impact the American political and social climate of the future. Contributors—LGBTQI and allied activists, scholars and clergy—write from an inside perspective about their communities, addressing the ways in which LGBTQI inclusion is being consciously constructed or denied, how their faith’s teachings have been traditionally interpreted, and what textual or authoritative changes have taken place to integrate LGBTQI people into their communities.

New in paperback! “Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, with her elegant, light touch, shows how an authentic Christianity demands a concern for, and an involvement with, thoroughly mundane issues such as ending poverty and hunger, providing health care and dealing with climate change, gender equality and crime. In her version of reality, everything is sacred except sin.” —THE RT. REV. DESMOND TUTU MORE ABOUT THE BOOK

Leader’s Guide Available at www.skylightpaths.com Katharine Jefferts Schori, former presiding bishop of The Episcopal Church, became the Anglican Communion’s first female primate in 2006. She is the author of Gathering at God’s Table: The Meaning of Mission in the Feast of Faith and A Wing and a Prayer: A Message of Faith and Hope, among other books.

Explores our connections—as human beings with each other, as one nation with all other nations, as the human species with the whole of our environment— through the lens of faith. Examines these connections while looking at the intersections of faith with the major issues of our day: • How does faith speak to poverty, climate change, the economy, health care, and what is the faith response? • How can believers from many faith traditions find common ground while honoring the Divine, serving one another and creating deeper community? • How do we best use the resources of faith to connect us to the hearts of our neighbors and to the heart of God?
