Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Asylum and immigration has become a major domestic issue in the United Kingdom. Everyone from newspaper editors to television political commentators have an opinion on people seeking asylum. But while we are forever talking about them, we do not hear their voices. The need to hear from people seeking asylum in Britain today is urgent and this publication does just that. The Churches' continuing concern with the plight of displaced people is rooted in the belief that all people share a common humanity, and should be treated justly. Asylum Voices seeks to demonstrate that, far from being a faceless category of human cargo to be shunned, asylum applicants are people with deeply disturbing stories. With stories from 146 asylum applicants from 37 countries including Afghanistan, Iraq, Zimbabwe, Algeria and the Czech Republic, Asylum Voices challenges both government and the people to listen to, and reaffirm the dignity and intrinsic human value of asylum applicants.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Being Human is a report from the Doctrine Commission. It addresses the fundamental questions of what it is to be a human being today. We live in a world in which issues of power, money, sex and time press upon us from all sides. Yet rarely does the Church seem to address these matters in ways that are theologically grounded and that relate to our practical, day-to-day concerns. The Commission took as their starting point the Wisdom books of the Old Testament and the books of Luke and Acts in the New Testament. Engaging also with classical Christian teaching and contemporary thought, Being Human offers wisdom for our day. The reader is encouraged to do three things: to reflect upon the Scriptures and upon a proper 'wisdom' for our changing culture; to adopt attitudes which are consistent with Christian believing; to make choices in the light of what the Christian gospel has to say about these issues.
