Places of Redemption: Theology for a Worldly Church by Mary McClintock Fulkerson

Description: Places of Redemption by Mary McClintock Fulkerson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description An exploration of the role of Christian practices in overcoming segregation according to race and disability in an interracial Methodist church in the USA. Mary McClintock Fulkerson argues that theology which is truly `worldly must display redemption without overlooking the ambiguous and messy realities of real human lives. Publisher Description The primary aim of this book is to explore the contradiction between widely shared beliefs in the USA about racial inclusiveness and equal opportunity for all and the fact that most churches are racially homogeneous and do not include people with disabilities. To address the problem Mary McClintock Fulkerson explores the practices of an interracial church (United Methodist) that includes people with disabilities. The analysis focuses on those activities whichcreate opportunities for people to experience those who are `different as equal in ways that diminish both obliviousness to the other and fear of the other. In contrast with theologys typical focus onthe beliefs of Christians, this project offers a theory of practices and place that foregrounds the instinctual reactions and communications that shape all groups. The effect is to broaden the academic field of theology through the benefits of ethnographic research and postmodern place theory.
