Thinking outside the box on race, faith and life
by Bishop Dr Joe Aldred (CTE staff member)
Thinking Outside the Box is a collection of articles, lectures, talks, sermons, homilies and presentations that emerge from Bishop Dr Joe Aldred’s work as a Black male Christian; a bishop in a Pentecostal church; an ecumenist with Churches Together; a broadcaster; writer; public speaker; and social commentator. His personal reflections address such themes as race, the Bible, the Black Church, progress, ecumenism, politics, preaching, multiculturalism, Christmas, money, leadership, destiny and parenting.
This diverse mix of writings reflect an eclectic life and ministry in which a mixed-portfolio of roles has been an ever-present companion. Be challenged by what you read. Agree, disagree, argue, correct; but most of all, enjoy!
