Ambassadors Of Reconciliation, Volume 2

Diverse Christian Practices Of Restorative Justice And Peacemaking

BY CHED MYERS AND ELAINE ENNS
St. Paul called on followers of Christ to be "ambassadors of reconciliation." In reflections on this and other New Testaments texts, Ched Myers and Elaine Enns offer a lens for re-reading the entire biblical tradition as a resource for the cause of "restorative justice" and peacemaking. The term "restorative justice" refers to a social movement that seeks to repair interpersonal, communal, and social injuries without recourse to violence or retribution. From its origins in the criminal justice arena restorative justice has been applied in schools, homes, and in the workplace. This volume focuses on stories of restorative justice in action.

Who Will Roll Away The Stone?

Discipleship Queries For First World Christians

BY CHED MYERS
Myers exposes the social and spiritual "stones" that impede us in our development and growth as Christians. "In every age," writes Myers, "disciples despair that the story has ended, only to discover that again the stone 'has been rolled away,' reopening the possibility - and imperative - of following the Way of Jesus." He uses three of the most troubling and problematic of recent events - the Los Angeles riots, the Gulf War, the Columbus quincentennial - to demonstrate how the subtle complexities of a culture of technological wizardy, information overload, and short-term memory can be recognized as blocking the first step on the journey of discipleship.
