Way of Transformation (Paperback). This item is unavailable.Way of Transformation (Paperback)

The book provides a lively contribution to the ecumenical task of correlating theology and culture, ethics and ecclesiology. Focussing on the World Council of Churches conciliar process of justice, peace and the integrity of creation between the assemblies of Vancouver, 1983, and Canberra, 1991, the author combines historical analysis, theological critique and renewal, and a sensitivity to the role of symbol in seeking a way of transformation in today's church and world.

Active in the ecumenical movement in Ireland and further afield, she is particularly interested in the correlation of theology with ecology, gender and political issues, and is co-author of a World Council of Churches book on ecumenical social ethics. With a background in English literature, psychology, and ecumenical theology, she also holds a Ph.D. in theology from Trinity College Dublin and has contributed to theological publications and ecumenical consultations at regional and global level.
