Description:
A Nazareth Manifesto is an eloquent and impassioned
ecumenical proposal for re-envisioning Christianity?s
approach to social engagement away from working ?for?
the people to being ?with? them.



Questions the effectiveness of the current trend of
intervention as a means of fixing the problems of people in
distressed and disadvantaged circumstances

Argues that Jesus spent 90% of his life simply being among the
people of Nazareth, sharing their hopes and struggles, therefore
Christians should place a similar emphasis on being alongside
people in need rather than hastening to impose solutions

Written by a respected priest and broadcaster and renowned
Christian ethicist and preacher

Supported by historical, contemporary, exegetical and anecdotal
illustrations
