The Church's Stand on Contemporary Culture by Peter and Helen Evans "They are topics that many times we avoid discussing: war, abortion, genetic engineering, animal rights, welfare, and euthanasia. However, we all think about these and frequently wonder what our stance should be. Now, you can Get Serious with authors Peter and Helen Evans. In discussions with experts from different faiths, thoughtful people will finally get the answers to the questions plaguing their hearts and minds. With intriguing questions and thought-provoking answers, Peter, Helen, and their interviewees take readers through every tough topic honestly seeking the truth and not trying to push a certain opinion.

Also available through Amazon.com	*Living in God's Creation* *Orthodox Perspectives On Ecology* by Elizabeth Theokritoff Few realize how ecological the vision of Orthodox Christianity really is. Yet it portrays creation as an epiphany of God, and the human person as a workshop of unity, a connecting link uniting creation and Creator. This lofty ideal is to be achieved at a very practical level: we are to manifest our love for God, for other people, and for the world, through "the right use of material things." To communicate this vision, Elizabeth Theokritoff draws on ancient sources - the Fathers, the liturgy, and saints' lives - on modern commentators, and on practical examples from our lived experience. She presents fresh wisdom and insight into Orthodox tradition in a way that is both accessible and relevant to theologians and non-theologians. The thematic arrangement makes it a convenient resource for teachers. It is compelling reading, and demonstrates that environmental concerns have deep roots in Christian tradition. *Elizabeth Theokritoff is an independent scholar and freelance* theological translator from Greek. She holds a doctorate in theology from Oxford.
