Deepening the Christian identity celebrated in worship― “Tim Sedgwick’s Sacramental Ethics was a groundbreaking book that awaked us to the significance of religious practices for the moral like. We are, therefore, indebted to Augsburg Fortress for their willingness to make this work available for a new generation who has much to learn from this book.” Stanley Hauerwas Duke Divinity School “This remarkable little book remains a classic, a wise and concrete reflection on the life of faith as a real way of life, grounded in the communal encounter with the grace of God in public worship. Look here to see again what word and sacrament have to do with daily life. Read here to think again how the paschal movement of Christ from death to life can pull us along, converting us to the care and embrace of the world.” Gordon W. Lathrop Charles A. Schieren Professor of Liturgy Emeritus Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia “Timothy Sedgwick is the most imaginative and provocative moralist now writing in the American Anglican tradition. He’s grounded and always has a fresh take on things. If Christian ethics in the United States is finally learning something about the importance of ritual and worship we largely have Tim to thank.” David H. Smith Director, Yale Interdisciplinary Bioethics Center “Sacramental Ethics sets Christian understanding and behavior where it belongs, in the Passover of Christ and of those whose faith lies in him from death to life.” Aidan Kavanagh, O.S.B. Timothy F. Sedgwick is Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, Vice President, and the Clinton S. Quin Professor of Christian Ethics at Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria.

From the terrorist attacks of September 11, through the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to issues such as stem cell research, abortion, and euthanasia, contemporary Christians are faced, almost daily, with the need for moral discernment. This book offers background as well as practical strategies for preachers in addressing such issues. It examines how preachers can help listeners cope with these and other challenges, and even welcome such questions as people of faith.

Preaching What We Practice: Proclamation and Moral Discernment

Respected Episcopal ethicist Timothy F. Sedgwick provides an alternative viewpoint on the homosexuality debate, on the proposed Anglican Covenant, and on mission and ministry. He deals insightfully with what he thinks is a mistaken assumption in the Church and advances a cogent argument that the church needs to be clear in forming its moral teaching―whether liberal or conservative. The right question, Sedgwick maintains, is how do we teach morals and order our life accordingly? This book evolved from his work over the last decade addressing same-sex issues in the national church. Chapters include: – Homosexuality, Teaching, and Governance in the Episcopal Church – The Anglican Covenant: What are Bishops for? – Anglican-Roman Catholic Dialogue: The Unity We Seek – Moral Teaching, Formation, and the Mission of the Church A timely and lucid treatment of the single most controversial topic in the Episcopal Church Written by a preeminent Episcopal ethicist

Sex, Moral Teaching, and the Unity of the Church: A Study of the Episcopal Church

This work by Timothy Sedgwick offers an introduction to the Christian life that leads readers from the theological foundations of Christian ethics to the daily practice of piety.In the opening chapters Sedgwick provides a general introduction to Christian moral living as expressed by both Catholics and Protestants, looking especially at the Anglican understanding of piety as a way of life. Subsequent chapters move from historical discussion to a contemporary description of Christian practices that deepen the love of neighbor in relation to the love of God.Arguing that the presence of God in our lives is given in a covenant of hospitality, Sedgwick develops a constructive view of the moral life that takes account of themes central to Christian ethics: the nature of forgiveness, the relationship of law and gospel, the call for love and justice. He also shows that effective piety requires the practice of spiritual disciplines that deepen our experiences of God: prayer, worship, self-examination, the simplification of daily life, and acts of hospitality and service.Written in a style accessible to non-specialists, The Christian Moral Life will be of special value to teachers, pastors, students, and others working in the field of Christian ethics.
