- "Bishop MacDonald interviews Steven A. Darden, Navajo, a business owner, consultant and trainer who works with many tribal and non-tribal organizations across Indian Country. His perspective us founded upon the integration of his grandmother's traditional Navajo teaching and his own studies and experience in contemporary culture, including Christian culture. This interview took place in 2002, and was transcribed from a tape recording by Cynthia Lamb-Faust".
- Interviewer Mark MacDonald was elected Episcopal Bishop of Alaska in 1997. He "brought 13 years' experience of ministry among predominantly Native congregations -- as regional vicar in Navajoland Area Mission and among the Ojibwe of Northern Minnesota. Additionally, he developed a thriving urban Indian mission in Portland, Oregon".
- A discussion of traditional Navajo religion and spirituality and some of its connections to Christian beliefs.

- "This book records the reflections and experience of some twenty Christians -- liturgists, theologians, church musicians, pastors -- who gathered at a Faith and Order consultation held in Faverges, France, in 1997"-- Intro. p. [1]. This book "focusses on baptism in relation to the unity of the church. Exploring patterns of baptismal practice today, including striking examples of inculturation from around the world, and noting continuing problems such as 're'-baptism, it calls the churches to draw the full implications of their `mutual recognition of baptism'. It also insists on the links between liturgy and life, offering fresh perspectives on the relation between baptism and Christian ethics." -- back cover.

- "The chapters of this book present, after further reflection, the substance of eight Lectures delivered, by invitation of the Faculty of Divinity, in the University of Cambridge, during the eight weeks of the Michaelmas Term of 1966. .... How might a will to genuine and reciprocal diversity within the one faith of Christ undo this heavy western bias of its modern history ? How might 'Englishness' be transcended, as 'Jewishness' first had been, in the true fullness and freedom of the Holy Spirit. This is the 'perspective' meant in the title. What follows here is no more that an essay. It aims only to illustrate what an answer might involve in three areas where it must be given, namely in relation to the Jewish, the Islamic and the Africa, with some reference also to the secular temper." -- Preface.

- This book highlights "the ways that non-Western worship practices may give insight into the relationship between Christianity, cultures, and worship worldwide, particularly in a period in which the worldwide Christian movement had shifted numerically from the Northern (i.e., Western) to Southern (i.e., non-Western) Hemispheres. Today the non-Western church is the majority church worldwide, with astounding resurgence and growth outside of the Euro-North American region. .... we desired that this volume would help its readers appreciate the immense variety of expressions of Christian worship in order to take seriously the social and cultural context that plays such a significant part in worship. Contributors affirmed the emphasis on culture as the potential, not the problem of worship, and stressed the importance of moving past a 'worship war' mentality that loses sight of the ways in which worship is a social act, embedded in cultures and societies, rather than an individual act alone". -- Acknowledgements.

- Notes
- "There are distinct differences between Native American spiritual perspectives and that of European religious ideologies in western society. Rather than being oppositional, I believe these perspectives are mutually complimentary and essential to further development of Christian expression and the survival of the Church". "Native American religions are essentially holistic. The Indian philosophical assumption is that wholeness, or unity, is a natural condition of the universe; whereas European cosmology views everything as a separate, and mutually complimentary only by accident or assent". "The harmony of the world and its survival, as we know it, is a question of balance: ours. Balance is power, and power enables a person to embrace change. Without change, life is dead: ceremony is dead. We must endeavour to find within ourselves the capacity for change, so that we can become part of a larger ceremony. We must realize that we are all part of a larger ceremony. We must realize that we are all part of something 'great and inclusive of everything', so that we can re-enter the greater circle and assume our rightful role as co-creators for the good".
- Author is of "Kiowa, Delaware and English heritage". He is a member of Four Winds Native Church at St. John's Episcopal in Roseville, California" and "has been working with the Episcopal Diocese of Alaska among the Gwich'in of the Interior Arctic of the past four years".
