New From Skinner House Books
Compelling and articulate, these inspiring essays explore the vision, language and practice of Unitarian Universalist social justice today. Putting justice and anti-oppression work at the center of our mission in the world, these voices ground social justice in an historical context, and address questions like: How does our faith hold brokenness, injustice and suffering? How do we develop a prophetic voice?
Contributors include Sharon Welch, Rebecca Parker, Paul Rasor, Thandeka, Victoria Safford and Marilyn Sewell.

I was part of some wedding festivities last summer, which included a bridal shower.
On the day of the bridal shower, running out the door in a hurry, I grabbed the gift box, only to realize that it wasn't wrapped. So we stopped at a nearby pharmacy for paper, tape, ribbons and bows──and managed to spend $20!
Needless to say, when the wedding arrived, I paid a few extra dollars for the gift wrapping at the online store. It was very pleasant.
Here's hoping you'll find our new gift-wrapping very pleasant.
Sincerely,
Rose Hanig

The culmination of the spiritual thought of a preeminent liberal theologian. In the spring of 2008, Forrest Church wrote what he believed would be his final work, Love & Death. One year and an experimental cancer treatment later, this beloved minister and acclaimed author was blessed with the opportunity to create one more book.

Social justice: an ideal, forever beyond our grasp, or one of many practical possibilities? More than a matter of intellectual discourse, the idea of justice plays a real role in how—and how well—people live. And in this book the distinguished scholar Amartya Sen offers a powerful critique of the theory of social justice that, in its grip on social and political thinking, has long left practical realities far behind.
