Gathering at God's Table: The Five Marks Of Mission In The Feast Of Faith - Softcover

'A gift to our worldwide Communion, indeed to the whole Church. These gems sparkle with insight and challenge . . . A classic for renewal in the Church s commitment as servant to God s mission.' --Archbishop Fred Hiltz, Primate, Anglican Church of Canada

'A love story between the churched soul and the all-consuming work of God on earth. This compilation of stories and commentary, confession and hymning joy, will move even the most recalcitrant of us to greater humility and more gratitude.' --Phyllis Tickle, author, Emergence Christianity: What It Is, Where It Is Going, Why It Matters

'Teems with the particulars of human care, human contact and human compassion . . . Readers will be able to take heart and lift up our hearts at Katharine s compelling testimony.' --Walter Brueggeman, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament Columbia Theological Seminary

Taking the framework of the Five Marks of Mission, the author leads the reader to reflect on proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom, Teaching, baptising and nurturing new believers, responding to human need, seeking to transform the unjust structures of society and sustaining and renewing the life of the earth. The book is aimed at all members of the church; there is much to guide leaders and ministers, but it is also accessible and relevant to lay people.
