The Church as Salt Digital Resource
Sally Douglas and artist Pearl Taylor have worked together to create the Church as Salt Digital Resource for individuals and congregations to utilise in their prayer lives, discussion groups, and in worship.
The resource includes Pearl’s artwork from each of the seven chapters of the book, together with an accompanying page of wondering questions, scripture and prayer prepared by Sally. To find out more or to purchase this resource click the link below.
What people are saying.
“… a profound and joyful book… With colourful stories from church history and from the present, Douglas… shows how congregations today can be “seasoning pockets of grace” for the sake of the world.”
Ben Myers, Associate Professor, Alphacrucis College
“Douglas…reminds her readers of the simplicity — and demand — of following a gospel that is seen more in generosity, neighbourliness, gathering, vulnerability and sharing than in the competitive and exhausting culture that religion sometimes occupies… In scholarship, story and vision … a compelling read and — more — a call to the local.”
Pádraig Ó Tuama, poet and theologian.
“Beautifully written with clear, poetic language and exquisite images, this book both draws its readers into prayerful reflection and provokes into active salty living.”
Sharon Hollis, President, Uniting Church in Australia.
“The church is dying…. Thanks be to God.” So writes theologian and pastor, Sally Douglas… The church as a custodian of morals, a purveyor of respectability, a friend of empire, is all coming to an end. It is now time to tell a “different story.” … an ideal resource for church communities or individual members who want to hear this “different story” about the past and the future of the church.”
Geoff Thompson, Associate Professor, Pilgrim Theological College
