Calling All Angels asks us to contemplate what would change in our relationships, vocations, congregations, and communities if we have the courage to overcome our fears like Mary, Joseph, Zechariah, and the Shepherds in the story. 🪽 Shop Now: https://a.co/d/egFlEug

💜🎉💛 Turning Over Tables is available for pre-order, yay! In a similar format as A Weary World and releasing January 2025 in time for Lent, this project is really special to me because it is all about disrupting power in tangible ways and making conversations and reflections about power more accessible, which I believe is greatly needed in this world filled with unbalanced and unhealthy power so far from the ways of Jesus. Regardless of where we find ourselves in our faith stories, engaging with power more honestly is for all of us. You can pre-order it now on Amazon and other major retailers and the Westminster John Knox Press website. There are also group reflection questions and it is perfect for a community or group to travel through it together. Let me know if you have any questions about it and look forward to sharing more in the upcoming months! power

John Michael Cleghorn is pastor of Caldwell Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, North Carolina. His congregation has been in the process of converting a twelve-thousand-square-foot education building into twenty-one affordable apartments for those needing supportive housing―a congregational dream almost ten years in the making. His background as a journalist led him to visit, interview, and connect with congregations around the country who have done similar work.
“Not a day passes that I don’t hear about another church that is asking itself big questions about its future, its property and its land - and whether there is a call to house their neighbor. I firmly believe God is in this movement!” —John Cleghorn

đź–‹đź“š WJK Author Feature: Donyelle C. McCray đź“šđź–‹
Donyelle C. McCray is Associate Professor of Homiletics at Yale Divinity School. Her scholarship focuses on the ways African American women and laypeople use sermons to play, remember, invent, and disrupt. She is the author of The Censored Pulpit: Julian of Norwich as Preacher, co-author of A Surprising God: Advent Devotions for an Uncertain Time, and is researching the preaching and spirituality of the Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray. In a forthcoming documentary film and transmedia project, she collaborates with artists on theological responses to gentrification. Before becoming a homiletics professor, McCray served as an estate planning attorney. Existential questions emerged that led her to seminary and to ministry as a hospice chaplain. Consolation, compassion, and interdependence continue to be core themes in her scholarship.
"Some of the most vibrant preaching emerges when the sermon merges with dance, visual art, music, or literature. This genre fluidity has a long history in African American preaching and often prompts faithful activism." -Donyelle C. McCray
