<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>'Interrupting the Church's Flow' challenges our lazy understanding of receptivity, digging deep to uncover a rich theological seam which has the potential to radically alter how theologians think about what we draw from urban places.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>How can we develop and embody an ecclesiology, in contexts of urban marginality, that is radically receptive to the gifts and challenges of the agency of our non-Christian neighbours? </p><p><br></p><p>Drawing on resources from political theologies, and in particular conversation with Graham Ward and Romand Coles, <em>Interrupting the Church's Flow</em> challenges our lazy understanding of receptivity, digging deep to uncover a rich theological seam which has the potential to radically alter how theologians think about what we draw from urban places. It offers a game changing liberative theology rooted not in the global south but from a position of self-critical privilege.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This book offers us a renewing and challenging vision of how to be human in unsettling times. It renews political theology as a discipline, building on (rather than rejecting) the movements of recent years; and it renews the Church whose pathway to the life of resurrection is argued to be via a radically receptive way of living." -- <em>Dr Anna Rowlands, St Hilda Associate Professor of Catholic Social Thought and Practice, Durham University, UK</em></p><p><br></p><p>"This is a book that bears gifts ... for the life of the whole church. And it is a book that hammers on the barricades that prevent us receiving, that prevent us even seeing or sensing, these gifts. It is a transformative book." -- <em>Mike Higton, Professor of Theology and Ministry, Durham University, UK</em></p><p>"This is an 'accidental prophecy' of extraordinary significance, one that engulfs my cautious pessimistic hopes in such roaring radical dissonance that my ears sing and my heart is readied for a transformed Church." -- <em>Dr Sanjee Perera, Visiting Research fellow, Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations, Coventry University. </em></p><br>
