Bivocational and Beyond provides a wide range of perspectives on faith, leadership, and learning to equip pastors and theological educators for a future in which multivocational ministry may become the norm. Bivocational ministry— also called multivocational, covocational, dual career, partially funded, non-stipendiary, or tentmaking ministry—is a topic of increasing relevance to congregational vitality and the future of the church in North America. The rise of the “gig economy,” a blurring of traditional notions of sacred and secular, and missional innovation at the end of modern Christendom present challenges to received models of church and theological education. Bivocational pastors are being challenged to integrate diverse expressions of their calling, balance personal and professional obligations, overcome stigma, and achieve financial stability. Bivocational congregations are being challenged to adapt to new leadership styles and expectations of clergy and laity alike. Theological educators, including theological librarians, are also being challenged to adapt. Degree programs designed for full-time students preparing for fully funded pastoral ministry must be reassessed in light of multivocational realities. This book addresses these challenges as an opportunity for theological education and the church. Theological librarians and educators can guide congregational leaders to imagine the church in ways that transcend the “standard” model of a fully funded, professionally trained pastor of a single congregation. Contributors include researchers, reflective practitioners, denominational leaders, and theological educators. Appropriate to its subject matter, this book is written for multiple audiences: students and pastors as well as those who educate them, theological educators and librarians.

ABSTRACT:Modernity's social betterment programs such as human rights depend upon a narrative of progress. Progress sustains the ideology that the problems of the non-Western and non-white world are caused by a lagging behind in time that prevents the embrace of the norms that deliver social progress and not by unjust structures of global political and economic power. Progress frames the problem of inequality as cultural rather than political. This occlusion of power means that human rights do not attempt to address important power differences between the Global North and the Global South. Because human rights discourse is undergirded by progress, material human rights frames and institutions actually prevent radical change and reproduce imperial domination. Human rights, therefore, cannot deliver on their promise of equality. This promise must instead be entrusted to an eschatological hope that rejects progress and is disruptive of ongoing oppressive power arrangements.

ABSTRACT:This essay argues that Pavel Florensky (1882–1937), one of Russia's most creative religious philosophers, makes an important contribution to Christian social ethics by positing "blessing" as a central moral act. Drawing on Orthodox liturgical practices of blessing, Florensky redescribes reality; it is filled with God's energies. Especially in letters from the gulag, after his arrest in 1933 for "counter-revolutionary" activity, Florensky calls forth the sacramental mystery of the natural world around the camps and of each person to whom he writes. In attending to them in their concrete particularity, he offers resistance to a totalitarian regime that would reduce them to raw, exploitable material.

ABSTRACT:Epistemic questions about what constitutes the "human" are intrinsically tied to discussions of "identity" and the dynamic tensions between universal and relative constructions of the "self" versus the "other." In this paper, putting the writings of Pope Francis on migration in conversation with Paul Ricoeur's concept of solicitude, which takes into account the "suffering other," and "nameless" or "anonymous" faces, and Kristin Heyer's discussion of civic kinship with its emphasis on embracing human difference, I examine the relations between "identity," "self" and "otherness," and assess their implications for discussions of solidarity.
