Beschreibung

This work clearly expresses the views of Progressive Christians Uniting on a variety of social issues and religious concerns. The topics are stated to define the progressive ideals which are ecumenical in nature and are in opposition to that which the media has presented and at times innacurate for the mainline churches. Religion is offered as an answer to numerous social problems: drugs, abortion, public schools, hunger, civil rights, and others. Included are an Appendix on the Christian Right, discussion questions, and endnotes. This copy is clean and solid with a former owner's name on the FFEP. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 007828
