- "So as to engage the churches and the wider ecumenical family in confronting these realities, this background document explores the question of how the churches and the wider ecumenical family can respond to the human tragedies rooted in the project of economic globalization. Entitled `Alternative globalization addressing peoples and earth (AGAPE)', this document was drafted by a small group of representatives from churches and related organizations. The text is based on the finding of a series of church consultations and studies on globalization organized by the WCC and other ecumenical organizations over the period since the 1998 WCC assembly in Harare. It is hoped that this process will produce an AGAPE call to action to the next WCC assembly in Porto Alegre in 2006. .... The aim of this document is to inspire the churches and the wider ecumenical movement to continue to address current global problems so as to respond resolutely to the intolerable levels of poverty in our world". -- Foreword, p. [iii].
- Contents: Foreword dated Geneva, March 2005 / Rogate R. Mshana -- The Agape challenge -- Plea for an Agape economy of life -- Just trade -- Just finance -- Transformative action and living alternatives -- Milestones on the ecumenical journey : texts decisions and actions -- Conclusion -- Appendix.

- "This book is the ideal resource for churches to nurture commitment and creativity by promoting `Jubilee literacy', a spirituality of forgiveness and reparation, and practical economic disciplines for individuals, households, and congregations. However, the Kinslers are clear that with this hope for renewal also comes a warning: Any theology that refuses to reckon with the realities of the increasingly unequal distribution of wealth and power in the human family today is both cruel and irrelevant. We Christians must talk about economics, and talk about it in light of the gospel". -- Foreword, p. xi.

- "These prayers have been chosen with the assistance of a group representing different denominations and cultures. We have sought a balance between prayers written here and overseas, but we have tried to ensure that the words that come from our partners overseas can genuinely be prayed in this context too. The material in the anthology has been selected and arranged according to the broad seasons of the church's liturgical year. The group that helped to gather the prayers spent a whole year reflecting on how the traditional themes of each season spoke to, and were illuminated by, a concern to strengthen the poor". -- Preface, p. 6.
- "How can we pray with the world's poor when we live in a society where self-interest often lies in keeping them poor ? This powerful and richly varied collection of prayers brings these concerns to the heart of the Church's living worship, for prayer is itself a valid form of action on behalf of the poor." -- back cover.

- "Among the many Canadian organizations which have taken up the cause of a just society, few have worked harder for the realization of this goal than the Canadian churches. The documents that are contained in this book are evidence of the churches' strong concern to identify and combat injustices wherever they appear in society. .... The purpose of this introduction is to give, first of all, a brief historical account of the churches' recent involvement in social issues in Canada. Secondly, it will identify the issues which are of major concern and will describe how the churches deal with these issues. Finally, an overview and analysis of the churches' position on social justice will be given". -- Intro.

- Over 24 countries were part of this study project initiated by the Association of World Council of Churches related Development Organisations in Europe (APRODEV) in collaboration with the World Council of Churches and nicknamed `Project 21'. Twenty-four case studies were written. Nineteen of them were based on countries ... Five of them focused on particular subjects (the labour movement, liturgy, transnational corporations ....All the case studies are available on the Project's website . The Project involved several meetings of the case study writers and a major Colloquium in New Delhi in November 2000 which produced an interim `Working Document. The full story of the Project is told in chapter 8". -- Preface.
- "The conclusions emphasize that `wealth' is as much of an issue as `poverty', and call for much clearer Christian teaching on justice and the economic order. They support moves toward a global alliance of local and national churches as a more effective instrument for achieving structural change. They ask for the strategic nature of development projects and programmes to be reassessed. And they assert that local congregations should be taken far more seriously and inspired and equipped to help bring about God's justice". -- back cover.
