Divorce - a challenge to the Church
Well known for his groundbreaking books on youth work and church ministry, Bob Mayo interweaves personal and theological reflection as he considers what the experience of divorce means for a Christian. Taking the state of exile as a parallel, the book has theological reflection and pointers for pastoral care for those involve in church ministry.
Using his own experience, he also puts forward prayers and liturgy for those experiencing loss and transition due to divorce, with an emphasis on forgiveness as 'remembering well'.
