Take No Side, Overcome: Call to Action Church in the Caribbean

This book is a call to action. While it is addressed primarily to the Church in the Caribbean, it applies to the Body of Christ everywhere. It provides an understanding of the upheavals, conflict and turbulence of the present world order and describes some of the global polarizations and world clashes of both religious and humanistic origin. The cosmic nature of our earthly conflicts is exposed as the human kingdoms of the East and West clash and come up against the spiritual Kingdom of God. A warning cry goes out to the Church of Christ to beware of taking sides in a battle where there is no earthly winner and to choose the only course that is sustainable and eternal - the Kingdom of God. It begins with repentance. The urgency of the times is underscored and the challenge to the people of God in the Caribbean to fulfill its mission and to overcome goes forth with clarity and resonance.
