But
We See Jesus: A Pastoral Letter from the Black Episcopal Bishops to
Black Clergy and Laity in the Epic
By Office of Black
Ministries / Morehouse Publishing
First published in 1989, this document
by the Black Episcopal Bishops to the whole black community, and to our
society as a whole, summarizes a theology of empowerment. Acknowledging
basic Gospel truths -- that God created a good world chat God loves --
this document also reminds us char the Black Story is an ancient one.
"The Black Story and the African story are inseparable; so too are the
experience of Moses and God's liberating of the slaves in Egypt, "
write the Bishops. God cares for the oppressed, they assert repeatedly,
not only in history but here and now.

Celebrating
Common Prayer: Common Worship
By
George Carey / Continuum
Celebrating Common Prayer is the Daily Office book for Anglicans,
expanded with much supplementary material for individual and group use.
This brand new edition incorporates all the new liturgical texts
authorized by The Church of England, based on the new prayer and
service book Common Worship. The book offers a pattern of daily prayer
which meets many of the needs expressed by Christians from a wide
variety of traditions. There is a simple structure for Morning and
Evening prayer, and the services can be led by lay people as
effectively as clergy. As well as the texts, suggestions are made as to
how the services might be celebrated in a wide range of circumstances.
The services can also be adapted easily for people to use on their own,
whether in hospital or on a commuter train.
