Praying the Kingdom: Towards a Political Spirituality. Charles Elliott. London: Darton, Longman & Todd, 1985. It is normal, when taking in the reality and enormity of structural injustice in our world, to feel both guilty and powerless. Elliott demonstrates how these negative feelings can become creative starting points for a spirituality which enacts the coming Kingdom of God. He develops a series of meditative exercises in which we learn to combine imaginatively our stories with careful readings of Scripture narratives and poetry. Praying individually and corporately—especially in a Eucharistic context—allows us to speak more clearly what is in our hearts and allows God to give us a new vision of his work in the world, empowering us to join him in it.
