The Inn at the End of the World: Reflections on an Inclusive Faith

Great work! The witness of a compassionate pastor and great storyteller. Kent Moorehead joins a select band of gifted preachers, that I have known, who were also gifted writers. I have waited eagerly for this volume and it does not disappoint.

-Bishop C. Dale White, Author of Making a Just Peace

As a long time amateur student of comparative religion, I welcome with considerable enthusiasm The Rev. Dr. Kent Moorehead's exposition and analysis. His focus on the religion of Jesus rather than the religion about Jesus is most refreshing and informative. Th e postscript is truly inspiring, including a powerful last paragraph.

Kent Moorehead puts it plainly: "Jesus' call to world community is not for the faint of heart." If you are weary from the work of inclusion, or need encouragement to stay the course, these meditations provide rich spiritual food.

A profound analysis of the malaise of "exclusiveness" that infects much of Christianity. Moorehead peels off the layers of our protective Christian rhetoric that hide our failures to be true neighbors, and the radical character of the Gospel comes forth with new light. I highly recommend these essays which are both writings and journeys of the soul. This book gives exemplary content to the phrase, "learned ministry", which was the hallmark of Walter G. Muelder to whom this book is dedicated.
