So What's the Big Deal About Communion?

By: Toby Crain

Have you ever wondered why Communion is practiced differently from one place to another or often not at all? Maybe you learned about it at an early age or were introduced to it later when you began following Jesus as an adult. Today, many Christians practice the sacrament of Communion (though not all) and have never been introduced to the history and significance behind what Jesus instituted for us at the Last Supper. Most understand its significance, yet only as it leads one back to the Cross. But why the Cross? Why did Jesus choose the very specific Jewish festival of Passover as the setting for changing the world? And more importantly, why did He have to die? Whatever your beliefs or understandings about Communion (or the Lord's Supper), take a walk with the author on the journey of discovery down the roads of tradition and truth to unveil God's amazing purpose for the Church through the practice of Communion and why He wants to be sure you experience it too. Presented in a thoughtful yet lighthearted tone, So What's the Big Deal About Communion? leads readers in understanding and unraveling many of the myths and traditions surrounding this special and important meal and, more importantly, helps us all to more effectively prepare for and enjoy this unique gift of Jesus to all His followers.

The End of Consensus

Diversity, Neighborhoods, and the Politics of Public School Assignments

By: Toby L. Parcel,Andrew J. Taylor

One of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas, Wake County, North Carolina, added more than a quarter million new residents during the first decade of this century, an increase of almost 45 percent. At the same time, partisanship increasingly dominated local politics, including school board races. Against this backdrop, Toby Parcel and Andrew Taylor consider the ways diversity and neighborhood schools have influenced school assignment policies in Wake County, particularly during 2000-2012, when these policies became controversial locally and a topic of national attention. The End of Consensus explores the extraordinary transformation of Wake County during this period, revealing inextricable links between population growth, political ideology, and controversial K–12 education policies. Drawing on media coverage, in-depth interviews with community leaders, and responses from focus groups, Parcel and Taylor's innovative work combines insights from these sources with findings from a survey of 1,700 county residents. Using a broad range of materials and methods, the authors have produced the definitive story of politics and change in public school assignments in Wake County while demonstrating the importance of these dynamics to cities across the country.
