Steeped in the Holy: Preaching as Spiritual Practice

Get Up Off Your Knees: Preaching the U2 Catalog
edited with Beth Maynard
Cowley Publications, 2003

"It will stretch you, inspire you, make you think—but perhaps most important, bring you to prayer in an active and engaged way. . . . Raewynne and Beth have put together a beautifully concise, but well argued rationale for meeting God in popular culture, and provided some ideas of how to go about helping us do it."—Mary Hess, Luther Seminary

Get Up Off Your Knees is a thoughtful and provocative collection of sermons by a group of preachers from across the international church spectrum who have been moved to theological reflection on the art and work of U2. This book will appeal to fans of U2, students of homiletics, and everyone interested in the intersection of art, popular culture, and religion.

"Church in Public Space" in
Wonderfully and Confessedly Strange
ed. Bruce Kaye
ATF Press, 2006

Concerned with vital issues of ecclesiology within Australian Anglicanism, this book is both daring and controversial. It confronts the undiscussable and in doing so brings together people who write from various contexts within the Church. Its diversity of style and attitude reflects the living richness and complexity of Australian Anglicanism today and also the problems and challenges. The book, in four parts, sets out the issues of methodology, looks at influences of the Australian Anglican inheritance, examines aspects of the institutional life of the Church, and, finally, focuses on the social and political contexts within which ecclesiology is shaped and created. This book is an essay , a conversation and a listening between theologians and, consequently, does not attempt to present a unified ecclesiology. As with the Christian community from which it stems, it seeks to engage with its divine, wonderful and confessedly strange origins.
