CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 6 The concealments of carbon markets and the publicity of love in a time of climate change
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
The concealments of carbon markets and the publicity of love in a time of climate change It was first proposed by John Tyndall in 1859 that greenhouse gases – and especially carbon dioxide – play a role in regulating the diurnal temperature of the earth. In 1938 G. S. Callendar a…

Paul Through Mediterranean Eyes - 39 APPENDIX 1
by SPCK-Kenneth E. Bailey
APPENDIX 1 Common Themes in 1 Corinthians and Amos The book of Amos concludes with a vision of the future when “the booth of David” will inherit “all the Gentiles upon whom my name is called” (Amos 9:12, my translation). This looks suspiciously like the opening of 1 Corinthians, …

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 7e Competing public issues
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Competing public issues The discussion on voice is linked into maintaining a profile for the issue at stake. What sets this particular discourse on climate change and the common good apart from those other issues and global flows is the extent to which it calls into question our …

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 7d From global flows to paradoxical umbrellas
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
From global flows to paradoxical umbrellas The temporal and spatial nature of the debates concerning climate change and its likely consequences effectively means that this theme is a theological global flow. That label is most closely associated with the work of Robert Schreiter,…

by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
By way of example… There is plentiful scope for this theme of climate change and the common good to become the equivalent of a case study once its theological legitimacy is established. For it to perform this kind of task there should be some criteria for evaluation…

Echoing the Word - The prayer of humble access
by SPCK - Paula Gooder & Michael Perham
18 The prayer of humble access We do not presume to come to this your table, merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in your manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under your table. But you are the same Lord whose na…

Echoing the Word - Preparation and penitence

Echoing the Word - Blessing and dismissal
by SPCK - Paula Gooder & Michael Perham
21 Blessing and dismissal Although it may be argued that, after the blessing experienced in receiving the consecrated bread and wine of the Eucharist, no extra words of blessing at the conclusion of the service can add much to the service, a blessing by the president at the end o…

Echoing the Word - Words at the distribution
by SPCK - Paula Gooder & Michael Perham
19 The prayer of humble access There are two sets of words to consider at the time of the distribution: first, those spoken by the president to invite people to Communion; second, those spoken by those distributing the consecrated bread and wine to each communicant in turn, altho…

Echoing the Word - Proper prefaces
by SPCK - Paula Gooder & Michael Perham
7 Proper prefaces The ‘proper preface’ is the variable part of the Eucharistic Prayer before the Sanctus. Such prefaces are unknown in the Eastern churches, where each Eucharistic Prayer has its own invariable preface. That is also the case in Common Worship in relation to Prayer…

Echoing the Word - Prayers at the preparation of the table
by SPCK - Paula Gooder & Michael Perham
4 Prayers at the preparation of the table Are there suitable words that help prepare the worshipper for the great Eucharistic Prayer? The pre-Reformation Church thought so and provided prayers that spoke of offering. The Reformation swept these away and instead gave Bible sentenc…

Echoing the Word - Eucharistic Prayer F
by SPCK - Paula Gooder & Michael Perham
14 Eucharistic Prayer F Prayer F is probably the richest prayer in terms of its theology and strong memorable images. Its origins lie in the fourth-century Eucharistic Prayer of St Basil, still in occasional use in the Eastern churches. In the West it has been experienced, in a v…

Echoing the Word - Eucharistic Prayer D
by SPCK - Paula Gooder
12 Eucharistic Prayer D Eucharistic Prayer D is something different, in every way far removed from Prayer C. It was specially written for Common Worship, drafted by Bishop James Jones of Liverpool in consultation with his children, though worked on and developed within the Liturg…

Echoing the Word - Eucharistic Prayer A
by SPCK - Paula Gooder & Michael Perham
