FINAL SELL OFF: (I have only a few copies left )

This Agenda offers a fairly complete catalogue of the various aspects of the theme: the history of religions and of atheism or unbelief; the difference and complementarity between spirituality and religion; religion that encourages and justifies wars; spiritualism, fundamentalism, and alienation, which have been denounced so many times in the past and yet persist even today; the need for interreligious dialogue; macroecumenicism; the transformation of power, of wealth, and of consumerism into sacred powers; the fall of old gods and their replacement by new ones; the need, the basic thirst, for answers to the major questioning of the human heart; the search for the meaning of one’s personal life and that of human society as a whole. After all the wars and inquisitions, we are beginning to ask whether a true religion can exist by attacking, closing in on itself, and forcing an assent of faith. All religions can be true and all can contain a great deal of falsehood.

The Day It Rained: A Novella

The Day It Rained
a novella

by Richard Renshaw

Pancha never imagined that rain could cause such grief. Chimbote is a fishing port set in the coastal desert of northern Peru. An early morning rain changed her life forever, as it did also for almost everyone in the little shantytown where they eked out an existence. Hers is a story of the struggle to keep hope alive.

Dealing With Diversity (Mediafire)

Dealing with Diversity
Questions for Catholics
by Richard Renshaw

From the conclusion:
Religious people are called to cross borders, to encounter whatever is on the other side of the cultural and religious divides. Solidarity with the struggle of the Earth, of the oppressed and of the marginalized begins when we take action with those on the other side of our borders. That action repositions us, establishing new relationships both with the oppressed and with the dominant culture. This is the point where the lifestyle enclave of the dominant culture collapses and a new narrative of religion emerges.

Religious people are uniquely positioned to help bind civil society together and to draw attention to the absent voices: the environment (air, water, soil, plants and animals), racial minorities, women, children, those with mental or physical disabilities, the elderly, refugees, immigrants. As religious people we are invited into the dialogue to mediate between self, society, the natural world and ultimate reality.

The Author:

Richard Renshaw studied at the University of Notre Dame, the Gregorian University (Rome), the University of Toronto and the University of Ottawa. He taught at St. Thomas University (N.B.) and at the Theology Institute for Higher Studies (Peru) as well as having served as Editor of Latin American Documentation (Lima), Assistant General Secretary of the Canadian Religious Conference and Assistant Executive Director of Development and Peace. Currently he lives in Montreal.
