Description: -NOW AVAILABLE IN STORE- In his new book, Bishop Geoffrey Robinson methodically offers a critique of the Church’s use and misuse of power, from the pope proclaiming infallibly, down to the preacher claiming a divine authority for every word spoken from the pulpit. While drawing on his own experience in responding to abuse, Bishop Robinson goes back to the Bible and, above all, to the teaching of Jesus. He presents an approach to sexual morality that is profound, compassionate and people-centred stressing the priority of the hierarchy of holiness over the hierarchy of power. He offers nothing less than a vision for a Church of the third millennium. His is a vision of a Church that wants to see in its members the responsibility appropriate to adults rather than the obedience appropriate to children, and wants to help people to grow to become all they are capable of being. Each chapter ends with an evocative meditation.
