Finding the Treasure: Good News from the Estates
Reflections from the Church of England Estates Theology Project
Finding the Treasure by Revd Dr Al Barrett is the fruit of two years of ‘deep listening’ in five different estate neighbourhoods across England. The Church of England’s ‘Estates Theology Project’ brought together local ministers and academic theologians to listen attentively to the voices of estates residents describing what they love about their neighbourhoods, what brings them joy as well as grief, and what hope and good news looks like for them.
Finding the Treasure is rooted in the real-life contexts of these local communities, rich in theological insights, and bold in the challenges it presents to the wider Church. Rev Dr Al Barrett offers inspiration and practical guidance for readers to engage in similar deep listening within their own local communities, and in areas, and from churches, that have all too often been labelled as ‘needy’, ‘failing’ and ‘deprived.’ Finding the Treasure shines a spotlight on an abundance of wisdom and resourcefulness, faith, hope and love that can be found in our estate churches and neighbourhoods.

Love in Action
Catholic Social Teaching for Every Church
Described as 'the Catholic church's best kept secret,' Catholic Social Teaching provides a rich body of thought, and finds a particular resonance as all denominations in the church seek to engage with the needs of contemporary society. Yet beyond the immediate context of the Catholic church, it is all too readily ignored.
Resolutely aimed at those who come from traditions beyond the movement's traditional catholic heartlands but who seek to view their ministry through the lens of generous orthodoxy, Love in Action offers a deeply scriptural but accessible introduction to this vital approach to the church's ministry in the world.

12 Rules for Christian Activists
A Toolkit for Massive Change
If you’ve ever browsed the self-help sections of any bookshop, you’d be forgiven for thinking that all we need to do in order to have a better life is to work hard, take exercise and get thin. Yet Christian activism calls us to a bigger vision of what life is for. It dares to suggest that Christians change the world for the better.
In 12 Rules for Christian Activists, Ellen Louden and a host of contributors present 12 accessible and practical principles to encourage a new generation to create a movement for positive social change.
Each chapter combines clear theological insight with inspiring stories told by activists and practitioners, including Dr Naomi Maynard (activist researcher), Fr Richard Peers (spiritual director), Angus Ritchie (Director, Centre for Theology and Community), and Nadine Daniels (Church of England National Refugee Coordinator).
