Calling

A Song for the Baptized

By: Caroline A. Westerhoff

The author begins her exploration of the Christian life with the memory of childhood afternoons spent rocking in green wicker chairs on her grandmother's front porch, listening to the stories of women who came to call. The image of calling as baptismal vocation, the sharing of time and conversation, the vision that informs our choices and actions is vividly described through Westerhoff's stories drawn from her life and work. Narratives of what it means to live as a Christian provide the variations on the baptismal themes of ministry, community, and responsibility in this "song for the baptized.

Good Fences

The Boundaries of Hospitality

By: Caroline A. Westerhoff

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.

The People and the Book

Negotiating Religious Change in Reformation England and Beyond

By: Caroline Litzenberger

This book tells the story of the people’s experience in dealing with profound changes in religion during the English Reformation. Continental Protestantism influenced the changing nature of English religion, but Catholicism was still the familiar old religion. Official religious policy swung back and forth between different forms of Protestantism and Catholicism, probably causing some to experience some form of spiritual whiplash. But, most clung to their old, familiar faith. Official religious policies provide the backdrop for this story with the people taking the lead. Over time, especially during Elizabeth I’s reign, Protestantism became more familiar, leading most people to accept some form of that new religion by the end of her reign. However, religion continued to change, or at least to shift in subtle ways. And so, the book’s story doesn’t end with Elizabeth’s death. It continues through key religious developments in England and beyond, answering the question of how the church of Elizabeth’s day became the global Anglican church of today.

Transforming the Ordinary

Caroline A. Westerhoff offers an extraordinary book of essays conducive to contemplative thought and prayer. Transforming the Ordinary encourages readers to look at the world in original and enlightening ways.We each have those moments when we catch glimpses of the mysteries of God -- the holy clues God leaves all around us -- if we are but willing to recognize them. ... Our challenge is this: To open the eyes of our hearts -- to live expectant, epiphany-centered lives -- so we can perceive and proclaim all that God is now ready to reveal, writes Westerhoff.A selection from the Book of Psalms is used at the beginning and end of each essay. The book also contains study questions and will be especially useful during Advent and Lent.
