Claiming All Things for God
George D. McClain
Abingdon Press 1998
As a Christian social activist, George McClain found himself yearning for a sense of integration between his active life and his spiritual life. At one point, not knowing what spiritual direction really was, he enrolled in a training program for spiritual directors. In the inner dialogue between that course and his social activism, her recognized the importance of a focused spiritual life in augmenting one's social witness.
McClain has done his spiritual work,
and is in a position to help the rest
of us do so. This is theology at its best:
practical, prophetic, and profound.
--Walter Wink
McClain surveyed other social activists and found that they too responded as he once had - making decisions in the arena of social witness in terms of what they should do, making personal decisions on the basis of what they discerned that God wanted them to do. This book is McClain's attempt to name this disjuncture in the lives of people of faith, to build on the growing intersection in people's lives of action for justice and the inner journey in the Spirit, and to offer rituals groups can use to begin to be religious together.
