Written with grace and sensitivity, Make All Things New is a collection of fourteen essays that focus on the themes of healing, peace, and reconciliation – topics as timely today as they have ever been. Well-known Anglican writer and preacher John Westerhoff, the husband of the author, has written the introduction. Each essay closes with questions for reflection and a brief prayer, making this book an excellent resource for parish study.
Hospitality and inclusion are important to the Church. Monastic communities are held up as a model, opening their doors to those who need a place to rest. But they also place boundaries on that hospitality, asking guests to observe house rules, and maintaining a cloistered area where guests are not permitted. "Good fences make good neighbors," wrote Robert Frost. Drawing on her training as a biologist and church consultant, Caroline Westerhoff explores the theological questions raised by boundaries. Filled with stories of actual families and communities, this book is excellent reading for church leaders and for individuals who want to be inclusive and yet maintain boundaries in their lives. John Westerhoff's study questions make this a helpful resource for parish study groups.
