In times of crisis, our faith is tested. What we thought was "solid ground" shifts, challenging us to rediscover our spiritual center. Believing that challenging times call for spiritual transformation, Protestant minister Bruce Epperly and Rabbi Lewis Solomon have partnered to plumb the wisdom of their respective religions to offer a vision for healing of ourselves and our world. Drawing on the deepest insights of Judaism and Christianity, they present a vision of spirituality that welcomes questions and struggles; that believes we are created for wholeness and abundance, even though we live by scarcity and fear; that views life as a holy adventure in which every encounter reveals the divine for those who have eyes to see. In creative partnership, they bring together tradition and innovation, affirming that: - Life is good.- We are challenged to become creators, artists, and healers of ourselves and the world.- God''s love is a deep reality, stronger than fear or hate.- Life is surprising and adventurous, and pushes beyond tragedy toward new creation.- God is with us, inspiring, guiding, and comforting us in every situation.- Even in difficult times, we can choose to become partners with God in creating a world of beauty.- God is the infinite source of possibilities that enable us to face personal and national tragedy. Deeply spiritual yet practical in orientation, "Mending the World "offers a life-transforming vision of spirituality and healing for people searching for a deeper understanding of their own faith traditions, and for seekers looking for a creative vision of spirituality. Includes suggestions for spiritual practices such as prayer, meditation, healing imagery.

After the defeat at Kappel in 1531, the political and religious leaders of Zürich had to reckon with both the weak position of the Reformation in the Confederation and the precarious situation in their own rural territories. The reformation of these areas depended crucially upon the ability of both church and state to define and control the lives and doctrines of the ministers who preached in their name. Based on extensive archival research, this book offers a study of the historical and theological background to the first reformed disciplinary institution, the synod in Zürich. The emphasis is upon the individual cases of the ministers, which bring into sharp relief the multifarious difficulties of their positions and of the often disharmonious relationship between the «new faith» and the religious needs of the people. The sensitive and perceptive means by which clerical discipline was administered in Zürich during the period between Kappel and the rise of Confessionalism testifies to Heinrich Bullinger''s grasp of the complexities involved in reforming both the clergy and the laity. This book makes a unique contribution to the current debate on the implementation and reception of the Reformation in the countryside.
