Radical Compassion is the story of one good man's struggle to be radical, like his Canadian prairie heroes, and to be compassionate in his response to the needs of others. Ted Scott fixed his energy on persons, while at the same time working fervently to address the systemic issues affecting the poor and oppressed, the marginalized and weak. The book is also a story of the turbulent times in which Scott lived - the Great Depression of the 1930s and the near-collapse of Western capitalism, the horror of the Second World War and the nuclear age, the 1960s with their optimistic belief that people acting together could change the world, and the 1970s and 1980s when globalizing market forces threatened both lands and livelihoods. The author draws on extensive interviews with Scott's friends, family and critics, and on the millions of words written about him, to give us a lively picture of the man and his times.

Religion & Spirituality

Prayer is central to the Christian life, and therefore to the ecumenical movement. Jesus himself prayed that we "all may be one" (John 17:21), offering the basis and goal of our search for common confession, witness, service, and prayer. In God's Hands offers valuable aids for intercessory prayer - prayer on behalf of and in solidarity with others. This book includes prayers and other worship materials from many Christian traditions and communities, enabling the reader to journey in prayer through each week of the year and through all the regions and countries of the world. Descriptions of these nations and peoples assist the reader praying for others in an informed way, knowing something of their local situations, possibilities, and challenges. This book is the long-awaited, complete revision of the Ecumenical Prayer Cycle last issued in 1989. The worship material has been gathered anew, and the country descriptions take into account the momentous religious, cultural, and political changes of recent years. Drawing on all the World Council of Churches' worship and editorial resources, this is a rich resource for all who want to be linked in prayer with other Christians in all their diverse needs in every land.

The day that the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo voted - on July 30, 2006 - marked the most significant election held in Africa since the 1994 balloting in South Africa at the end of that nation's apartheid regime. The Congolese voted in the millions, many walking up to 50 kilometers just to get to the polling stations. The election brought to a close 130 years of foreign invasions, colonialism, exploitation of vast mineral wealth, dictatorship, and the consequences of two recent wars that cost 4.3 million lives in just over five years. Few in the rest of the world were aware of these conditions. The western media largely ignored this region, while the international community and the African continent seemed helpless to stop the destruction. The World Council of Churches' general secretary, Samuel Kobia of Kenya, sent a hard-hitting pastoral message to the 65 million people of Africa's third largest country on the eve of these elections. Kobia promised to accompany them as they move toward a difficult and unknown future. He also dispatched the author of this report to help break the silence surrounding the Democratic Republic of Congo. Africa's Broken Heart is the story of a people who must no longer be ignored. This is a passionate and painful book, yet it is laced with narratives of hope and heroism.
