Together in Hope – The Sequel is a Series
Posted 29th March 2011
In 2008 PCN met with a number of Christian organisations to set out a vision of an inclusive, forward -thinking, justice-loving, love-proclaiming Church following the person of Jesus of Nazareth. One outcome of these meetings was the small book, Together in Hope, a collection of short essays outlining a landscape for the Christian faith. Together in Hope sold well and was a sign of how valuable such resources are to people in churches and groups who yearn for a Church fit for the 21st century.
From that experience has grown another piece of collaboration, this time between PCN Britain, Modern Church, St Mark’s Centre for Radical Christianity and Free to Believe. Using the banner, Together in Hope - Resources for Christian Faith Today, the group is producing a series of short resource books for people who desire to be encouraged and fed in their spiritual growth.
The first two books, WALK THE JESUS WALK and JESUS THEN AND NOW are by the same author John Simmonds, who convenes PCN groups in Sheffield and Chesterfield.
The third book in this series is by Adrian Alker and is titled CHRISTMAS: ANCIENT MEANINGS, MODERN FAITH, how modern Christian people can be helped by the Christmas stories in the gospels.
We hope that all 3 books will be seen as complementary and a useful source of study for individuals and groups. They are priced at £3 (plus £1.00 postage) and can be bought from the St Marks CRC office or at http://www.pcnbritain.org.uk . Discount on the postage can be offered for bulk purchase; email togetherinhope.editor@gmail.com.
This venture is not only collaborative between organisations (liberals can work together!) but we also hope that people 'out there' might feel able themselves to contribute to the series either in offering a chapter on a chosen theme or indeed a whole book.
The present convenor of the Together in Hope group is Adrian Alker and you can email Adrian on togetherinhope.editor@gmail.com
