Christian Living/Social Issues

The Night is Long but Light Comes in the Morning Meditations for Racial Healing Catherine Meeks Foreword by Michael B. Curry

From the winner of The President Joseph R. Biden Lifetime Achievement Award, a spiritual guide to restoring yourself from racial trauma and committing to the long work of dismantling racism.

In her work as executive director of the Absalom Jones Center for Racial Healing, Meeks has fought tirelessly to shed light on racism and provide tools and experiences to enable faith communities to work to combat it. In this new book, she shares highlights and insights from her journey and offers a muchneeded meditative guide for the weary and frustrated. By looking inward and at each other clearly, she argues, good people of all backgrounds can forge a long-term and individual path to making a difference. With personal stories and thoughtful direction, she takes the reader on the trajectory from self-awareness to recognition of the past to a new and individual way forward.

Meditation topics include how to work through fear and rage, how stories can help heal, honoring your ancestors while looking toward the future, what it really means to love one another, and the meaning of social justice.

Morehouse Publishing 9781640655973 $24.95 Hardcover | 5.5 x 8.5 | 224 Pages November 22, 2022

Related Reading Living into God’s Dream Dismantling Racism in America Edited by Catherine Meeks Foreword by Jim Wallis This collection of nine essays is honest, pragmatic, and courageous in its real-world view of racism and how people of faith and conscience can work together to “dismantle racism.” Reflection questions at the end of the book, appropriate for individual or group study, can engender deeper discussions.

“In this hard-hitting yet heartfelt analysis, historians Meeks and Stroupe use Gilded Age reformer Ida B. Wells (1862– 1931) as a touchstone for a discussion of 21st century racism. In simple language, Meeks and Stroupe present a cogent, persuasive blueprint for achieving racial justice and equality in America.”

Stewardship

Faithful Giving

The Heart of Planned Gifts James W. Murphy Foreword by Robert F. Sharpe Jr. An interfaith guide to planned giving.

Planned gifts are typically the largest gifts received by a charity and can transform religious organizations and congregations to become more sustainable, impactful, and vibrant entities for decades to come. Encouraging planned gifts to congregations and religious organizations is essential at this time of tremendous generational wealth transfer; these gifts also provide an opportunity to enhance relationships between supporters and organizations.

Many congregations and religious entities fear that they cannot raise these transformational gifts due to a lack of expertise among staff or volunteers, the limited financial resources of their constituents, or the simple discomfort of addressing ultimate issues with donors. Faithful Giving can help change those dynamics.

Church Publishing 9781640654761 $29.95 Paperback | 6 x 9 | 256 Pages October 18, 2022

The book is intentionally inclusive of Christian and other faith traditions by offering several case studies from a variety of Christian denominations and other religions, including Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, and others.

“I recommend this valuable resource to all lay and clergy religious leaders who are looking for guidance and inspiration in launching a program in their own local contexts.”

—Donald V. Romanik, president of the Episcopal Church Foundation “The discussions and case studies from the variety of faith perspectives further ingrained in me that faith can be a driving force behind one’s philanthropic legacy, and it is up to each of us in our roles to harness and implement those aspirations in our own way. You will take away many practical approaches and reflections to build a successful program no matter how large or small.”

—Kevin McGowan, chief financial officer of Catholic Extension JAMES W. MURPHY, a Certified Fund Raising Executive, is managing program director at the Episcopal Church Foundation (ECF). Active in ecumenical collaborations, he works with congregations, dioceses, and other Episcopal organizations to grow their endowments and develop their planned giving programs and various philanthropic efforts and resources.

Realizing Beloved Community

Report from the House of Bishops Theology Committee Edited by Allen K. Shin and Larry R. Benfield Foreword by Michael B. Curry A major study on the theology of Beloved Community.

This long-awaited work by the church’s top clergy, scholars, and thought leaders examines the theological foundation of Beloved Community and its threats.

The committee’s work sheds light on the societal and cultural implications of the largest obstacle to the core mission of Presiding Bishop Michael Curry and outlines what is necessary for the future of racial justice.

“This is a welcome and important statement by the House of Bishops Theology Committee that will strengthen and continue the church’s important conversations about beloved community. It challenges us not to stop with conversation but to move on to action—repairing and transforming relationships through acts of material repentance.”

A Women’s Lectionary for the Whole Church

Bestseller

Year A Wilda C. Gafney

“Gafney’s paradigm-shifting scholarship will influence biblical preaching and teaching for generations to come.”

—National Catholic Reporter What would it look like if women built a lectionary focusing on women’s stories?

The scriptures are androcentric, male-focused, as is the lectionary that is dependent upon them. As a result, many congregants know only the biblical men’s stories told in the Sunday lectionary read in their churches. A more expansive, more inclusive lectionary will remedy that by introducing readers and hearers of scripture to “women’s stories” in the scriptures.

A Women’s Lectionary for the Whole Church, when completed, will be a threeyear lectionary accompanied by a stand-alone single year lectionary, Year W, that covers all four gospels. Year A features the Gospel of Matthew with John interwoven as is the case in the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) and Episcopal Lectionary.
