"An exploration in contemporary public theology in honour of -- and in dialogue with -- former Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town, Njongonkulu Ndungane, by South African and international church leaders, theologians, and civil society figures". -- back cover.
"At the end of 2007 Winston Hugh Njongonkulu Ndungane retired after thirty-four years of ordained ministry, the last eleven as Archbishop of Cape Town and Metropolitan of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa. .... 'Faith in Action' is a tribute to those years in ministry, from some of the many who have worked alongside him, often struggling to keep up, as his vision and determination have carried him to the farthest limits of the vast geographical area of his church ... and to every corner of the globe. This book is also a contribution to the celebration in 2008 of the very particular expression of Anglicanism that has been forged within Southern Africa over the one hundred and sixty years since the arrival of Robert Gray, the first Bishop of Cape Town -- an Anglicanism that has learnt through demanding experience that there are no distinctions between private and public when it comes to questions of lived faith, and that unity among Christians is wrought through daring to wrestle together with difficult and divisive matters both within the church and beyond its walls". -- Intro.
