- "Moral indignation or uneasy acceptance of the status quo are two typical church responses to the mass media. But neither does justice to either the media or the Gospel. As the debate on media freedom and responsibility takes on new intensity, a more thoughtful Christian critique of the media becomes more urgent than ever. This little book is a personal attempt to provide such a critique." -- back cover.

- Notes
- Verna Dozier "has gathered important writings -- her own and others' -- that answer three vital questions about ministry in the world. Part I addresses the question, `How does one make decisions when the choice is only between lesser evils ?' The task of the lay person is not as clear as choosing the good rather than the evil. These readings point to the agonizingly ambiguous questions most Christians face in daily work. What does an editor print -- and why ? How do politicians and bank tellers make tough choices and live with them ? Part II asks, `How does one live with the incomplete -- never quite making it ?' These readings point to the tough, slogging work that's involved in dealing with big issues -- getting state mental health policy changed, or dealing with hazardous waste. Part III asks the question, `How can we educate so that the resources of the faith are there for strength and not for solutions ?' This section addresses the relationship between the church and the world, theological issues related to the ministry of the laity, and specifically ways the institutional church can support the ministry of the laity where they live and work". -- inside front cover.
- Contents divided into three main parts: I: Making Decisions -- II: Living with the Incomplete -- III: Educational Support Systems. Part III divided into three sub-sections: Relationship between the Church and the World -- The Theological Issues -- New Challenges for the Institution.

Bishop Neill considers in practical terms how the Christian may consciously make this his aim in his everyday life. He looks at the life of the Christian as the New Testament sees it and then most pointedly applies that teaching to life to-day". -- front dust jacket blurb.

But Dr. Robinson was pleading for a criterion of response and responsibility far more searching than that of code morality, as his subsequent lectures 'Christian Morals Today' made clear. These lectures are reprinted in this book, which will take its place alongside his earlier essays 'On Being the Church in the World', now available a Pelican. The theme running through this new collection is the meaning of authentic Christian freedom in relation to the moral and political issues of our contemporary society and to the thinking and structures of the Church". -- back cover.

- Includes bibliographical references and index.
- This book "is not a defence of church teachings; rather, it is a description and constructively critical evaluation of the strategies with which Christians denominations are trying to influence public policies dealing with bioethical issues. After analysing how Christian churches and their theologians have formulated recommendations for public policy on bioethical issues, Williams assesses the strategies used to get their recommendations accepted. Based on this sober -- and sobering -- analysis, Williams offers a number of compelling suggestions for future action". -- back cover.
