Hear the call to overcome today¿s culture of hate and bring healing and hope into our life together. While right-wing conservatives dare to call themselves Christians as they tear down equality and justice, commit horrific acts of violence, and fan the flames of fascism in America, Carter Heyward issues a call to action for Christians to truly hear God¿s message of peace and love.Heyward shows how American Christians have played a major role in building and securing structures of injustice in American life. Rising tides of white supremacy, threats to women¿s reproductive freedoms and to basic human rights for gender and sexual minorities, the widening divide between rich and poor, and increasing natural disasters and the extinction of Earth¿s species--all point to a world crying out for God¿s wisdom.Followers of Jesus must first call out these ingrained and sinful attitudes for what they are, acknowledging what the culture of white Christian nationalism is doing to our country and our world, and commit ourselves ever more fully to generating justice-love, whoever and wherever we are.

As America's oldest merchant ship still afloat and the only wooden survivor of the once-vital whaling industry, the Charles W. Morgan has a complex story to tell.Elaborating on Mystic Seaport Museum's earlier volumes on the Charles W. Morgan's history, this new book offers an expanded account, chronicling the ship's construction and launch in 1841 through its Thirty-Eighth Voyage in 2014--the first time the Morgan had been sailed in more than ninety years--and its continuing role today as an historic icon and the Museum's flagship vessel. Chapters paint a picture of how whaling developed in Europe and the ways New England colonists adopted it as a profitable venture, and then, through the ship's own story, proceed to sketch the evolution of America's relationship with nature--and the whale, specifically--and with the many peoples of the world who were encountered by, or served aboard, a whaleship.This is the story of a National Historic Landmark--one that reflects our changing relationship with the natural world and with the diverse populations of the globe through two centuries of American history.
