Against The Tide
Bardsley, Warren
Books > Wild Goose > Wild Goose
The Story of Adomnán of Iona
The second half of the seventh century was a time of great change in Ireland, Scotland and northern Britain, and, as ninth Abbot of Iona and leader of the monastic federation founded by Columba, Adomnán was fully involved in the social and political upheavals taking place. He negotiated the release of Irish hostages held in Northumbria and accompanied them on their journey home to freedom. With great courage and resourcefulness, he sought to change the prevailing warlike culture of his day.
His most outstanding achievement was the ‘promulgation’ of the Cáin Adomnáin, a revolutionary law designed to protect non-combatants, especially women, during wartime – a law which in its own day was as significant as the Geneva Conventions or the UN Declaration of Human Rights, and which deserves to take its place alongside those ground-breaking charters for human rights.....

All that Matters Vol 2
Bell, John
Books > Wild Goose > Wild Goose
This is the second volume of John L. Bell’s ‘Thoughts For The Day’, augmented by three extended essays, ‘Indebting the future’, ‘The love of God and global warming’ and ‘The beast that is in us’.
For many years, John has been a contributor to Radio 4’s Thought For The Day, attempting – as the project demands – to offer a religious perspective on matters of current social and international importance. Sometimes affirming, sometimes controversial but always contemporary, these short reflections represent the prickly interface between faith and politics from the perspective of a Christian believer.

Around a Thin Place: An Iona Pilgrimage Guide
Bentley, J &Paynter, Neil
Books > Wild Goose > Wild Goose
For centuries pilgrims have travelled to the isle of Iona in search of the sacred, inspired by the example of St Columba, a 6th-century Irish monk who founded a monastery there, and whose influence is felt to the present day. Many modern-day pilgrims and seekers are also drawn to the island through the work of the Iona Community, an ecumenical Christian community acting for justice and peace, the rebuilding of the common life and the renewal of worship. The Iona Community runs a weekly pilgrimage around the island for those who visit, pausing for reflection at places of spiritual and historical significance, and at less obvious landmarks which offer inspiration for our daily lives and our engagement with the wider world.

Cherish The Earth
Low, Mary
Books > Wild Goose > Wild Goose
From space it is all too easy to see our increasingly negative impact upon the carefully balanced living system that is our planet: the pollution of our rivers, the land and trees cleared by burning, and the vast areas of drought. Yet the political decisions that could make a difference continually slip down the international agenda while, on a personal level, we struggle with the lifestyle changes in our lives. "Give me sustainability, but not yet" could be our 21st-century version of St Augustine's famous "continence" prayer. We need to start re-thinking our beliefs as if the rest of nature mattered, linking liberation theology with environmental issues, for as the world becomes more uninhabitable, it is the poorest who suffer first and longest. But our relationship with on-human nature is more than just material and economic. We need to start loving nature for its own sake, not just for what we can get out of it, physically, emotionally or spiritually.

Mattman, Urs

He provides prayers, meditations, rituals, exercises & other suggestions to foster spiritual discovery.

Dirt, Mess and Danger: Liturgies and Worship Resources
Macauley, Glendon

Dirt, Mess and Danger celebrates the One who came to earth to live a fully human life, who as a baby suckled at his mother's breast, and as a man suffered an all-too-human death on the cross at Calvary. He lived his life in the midst of dirt, mess and danger, and so understands what it is to be human, and yet rose to bring healing, forgiveness, justice and peace. Before entering ministry, Glendon Macaulay worked for 27 years in central government. He was also Organist and Choirmaster at St Andrew's High Church, Musselburgh for 30 years, a member of the Church of Scotland's Panel on Worship and one of the compilers of Church Hymnary 4 (CH4), edited by John Bell.

Down To Earth: Stories and Sketches
Paynter, Neil
Books > Wild Goose > Wild Goose
The stories told here come out of the experience of working in homeless shelters in North America and Britain, as a nurse's aide with the elderly and as a mental health worker. A book about searching for, and finding, Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit in down-to-earth places. In a world of easy compromises and much false posturing in which the rich, the often corrupt, and the people with power keep telling us how to live and what to strive for, Neil writes about a world where hearts matter and in which vulnerable folk can teach us much. -
