<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Inclusion has recently become a high priority issue within the development sector, brought to the fore by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development's commitment to leave no one behind. Practices within the remit of inclusion often focus on increasing access and meaningful participation, with emphasis placed on bringing those at the margins to the centre. <strong>Theologies and Practices of Inclusion </strong>challenges such centre-focused practices from a global perspective, based on research conducted within the Christian relief, development and advocacy organisation Tearfund and beyond.</p><p><br></p><p>Offering inspiration for practitioners within the sector and faith-based organisations in particular, as well as an academic contribution to the fields of international development studies and theology, the book aims to bridge theology and practice in an accessible way.</p><p>Consisting of 13 chapters and case studies, this book draws on the wisdom of a diverse team of contributors at the forefront of international development, working in a variety of contexts. These include South Africa, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Kenya, Rwanda, Ecuador, Panama, Bolivia, the Philippines, Iraq, Egypt and the UK. Highlighting 'journey', 'change' and 'belonging' as three key aspects of inclusion, the book explores the outworking of theologies of inclusion within organisational practice.</p><p><br></p><p>With a foreword by Ruth Valerio, and an afterword by Catriona Dejean.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>As a work of Practical Theology employing an interdisciplinary approach, Nina and Madleina have assembled in this volume scholars and practitioners who understands inclusion, diversity, equality and justice. The multiplicity of their voices and perspectives on the subject is much needed in this pandemic context in helping the global Church to be prophetic in speaking out and advocating for the marginalised, but also in reflecting God's multi-ethnic kingdom on earth through race, ethnicity, class, gender, age and disability. This is indeed a radical transformative inclusion. <br>--Rev Dr Israel Olofinjana<br><br>Many of us intuitively identify with ideas of inclusion. We want communities within which everyone feels that they are included. We all need places where we feel that we belong. However, the practice of inclusion is complicated. How do we go about finding healing for those whom we implicitly or explicitly exclude? How do we deal with differences that can be dangerous for some? Is inclusion primarily a political idea and goal, or does it have theological meaning that invites churches to engage creatively, and critically with the various conversations? These are the kinds of complex but fascinating questions that this volume seeks to address. In a post covid, post Brexit era where exclusion has taken on new dimensions, this book is timely and potentially an important source of healing.--John Swinton<br><br>Theologies and practices of inclusion is a text that is based on both experience and practice of authors who approach the topic with an intersectional lens. Thus the text covers all the areas that are required in both theology and practice in a society that is to be home for all people of God. The text has new insights and new ways of reading the Bible and in applying it to real situations.--Esther Mombo<br>
