Produktbeschreibung
The church is not only the central place of Christian worship but also a place of faith-filled education. Christly Gestures reframes the very meaning of religious education, exploring what the form and content of Christian learning would look like if local churches truly saw themselves as the body of Christ. Author Brett Webb-Mitchell begins with the writings of Paul, using them to clarify the biblical image of Christ's body as the community of believers. Taking this powerful analogy to heart, he suggests that Christian education must not only nurture the minds and spiritual lives of church members but also educate their bodies into the "Christly gestures" - performing acts of faith that imitate Jesus and embody the gospel in daily life. In the quest for a richer, more relevant understanding of Christian education, Webb-Mitchell provides meaningful answers to questions concerning the purpose, context, ways, and means of educating Christians today.
Autorenporträt
Brett Webb-Mitchell is interested in the place and presence of all people at God's banquet feast, including people with disabilities. An ordained clergyperson in the Presbyterian Church (USA), he has served the church as a pastor, a chaplain, and a seminary professor at Duke Divinity School. Currently he is the director of the School of the Pilgrim (http://www.schoolofthepilgrim.com), a teaching ministry that takes people on actual pilgrimages around the world to enable them to discover the pilgrimage they are on at home. He is the author of various books advocating the full inclusion in the church of people with disabilities. These include God Plays Piano Too, Dancing with Disabilities, and the soon-to-be-published Beyond the Ramp.
