Local notes

This lectionary was created within three weeks of the 2016 USA presidential election, in response to that campaign's 'vicious rhetoric' and the realization that the world's vulnerable are likely to have a very difficult four years. This book does not contain prayers, but thoughtfully selected weekly quotations and daily Bible verses to remind us as people of faith of social justice issues and of our responsibilities to act from our faith with courage and compassion. "(We) must act as if it matters - because it does."

Description

"This BOOK is not free of agenda. It is an act of resistance. God is greater than any politician, political system, or nation. And now is the time for people of faith to act in tangible, costly, and courageous ways. This book calls upon Christians to live into wisdom, prudence, compassion, humility, and discernment, to pursue the heart of God's kingdom vision: a society in which all are valued as individuals bearing God's image." -- Backcover.
