Here eight different religions join together in peace to pray for peace. Under the auspices of the interfaith organization, The Week of Prayer for World Peace, they bring home vividly the love that is God and the horror that is war. It is not only inner peace - tranquility of soul and mind - which is being sought here, but an end to agony and bloodshed, physical and psychological torture, abuse of every kind taking place in the world of men, women and children.

'Dancing Sermons' indeed . . . Believe what you will . . . when it comes to it, we all come from the same root and have the same needs, and suffer the same failings. That is the gentle message of the witty Bishop of Botswana.

Dancing Sermons is joyous. It takes the reader from one beat to the other, dancing non-stop . . . an easy, accommodating read, which does not require one to be a staunch Christian or belong to any particular religion to be hooked on it.

Embracing creativity, the quest for truth, and the commitments to freedom, human rights caring and reconciliation, the book identifies modern spiritual opportunities in a land where Christian tradition and widespread doubt have become inextricably linked.

36 short chapters sum up the characteristics of tomorrow’s Christian.
One who is questioning, ecologically aware, global, evolving, non-theistic, balanced, right-brain, scriptural, prophetic, peace-making, forgiving, empowered, Jesus-following, seeking, free, discerning, post-modernist, meditating, mystical and more.

Marcus Braybrooke investigates the common ground between the best traditions of Islam and Christianity and their interdependence, and offers a personal perspective not only on how we can live amicably with Muslims, but also on how we can learn from them.

	The Inner-city of God: The Diary of an East End Parson John Pridmore (Canterbury Press Norwich 2008)	John Pridmore writes a captivating, moving, funny and self-deprecating account of life as an inner-city priest in one of the most deprived parts of London. His jottings, he says, are a collection of the absurd, the poignant and the comic. They are emphatically not a record of 'good practice', he insists, but anyone countenancing working in a city parish will find more wisdom in this book than in all the theological volumes on the subject put together.
