"Ecumenism Means You, Too" story wins Australasian Religious Press Association award

Last year a post at Ecclesial Theology called attention to the August 2010 issue of Insights, the official publication of the Synod of New South Wales of the Uniting Church in Australia, which began with editorial reviewing my book Ecumenism Means You, Too: Ordinary Christians and the Quest for Christian Unity (Cascade Books, 2010) and included a feature story on the importance of grassroots ecumenical engagement that borrowed "Ecumenism Means You Too" for its title. Earlier this month the Austalasian Religious Press Association awarded Insights its Gold Award for Best Feature for Emma Halgren's story "Ecumenism Means You, Too."

I'm glad for this well-deserved recognition of the good work being done by Insights and its writers, and I'm grateful for the publicity not only for the book but also for the practices of grassroots ecumenism encouraged in the feature story (and the book that supplies its title).

Interested in Ecumenism Means You, Too? Order the book directly from Cascade Books or via Amazon.
