Crossing Thresholds

A Practical Theology of Liminality

By: Timothy L. Carson,Rosy Fairhurst,Nigel Rooms,Lisa R. Withrow

We live in an age of enormous and rapid change, but how do people, organisations, even whole cultures and societies change? And where is God in such transformations? For more than a hundred years, anthropology has taught us that entering a chaotic, awesome and fraught 'threshold' - or liminal space - is fundamental to our renewal as human beings. Yet none of us goes willingly into such places. We need to be 'held' in liminal movement so that it is safe enough to change. Crossing Thresholds is the first inter-disciplinary theological treatment of the universal phenomenon of liminality. Developing practical wisdom from foundations in the work of Victor Turner, Donald Winnicott and Bruce Reed, the authors explore the place of liminality in the worship, mission and hermeneutics of the Church and reflect on its usefulness to a wide range of Christian practice. For all those who strive to think theologically about the great transitions of life, this comprehensive work offers unique insight into what it is to safely cross the threshold of chaos and embrace the future with courage.

Uncovering Sin

A gateway to healing and calling

By: Rosy Fairhurst

This approachable Lent course invites us to view sin as something to be understood, rather than condemned. It argues that our darker traits must be coaxed into the light in order to manage them and work towards healing and renewal. An intriguing choice for both personal and group reflection.

Crossing Thresholds

By: Timothy Carson,Nigel Rooms,Lisa Withrow,Rosemary Fairhurst

The human transformation available at the 'limen' (literally: the edge or threshold), noticed across different cultures by anthropologists, is at the heart of the Gospel. Indeed the liminal place is the place of transformation and change par excellence. We live in age of enormous and rapid change to which we do not yet see an end. There is therefore a 'kairos' moment here for the church to understand the importance of liminality through this unique book. Reading this book will offer new 'lenses' to understand humanity, God's world, the shape of Christian discipleship, the church and its mission differently. The authors believe engaging with liminality can help both readers' faith and the church to be re-imagined - and have included case studies, exercises and questions in each chapter to help this process.
