An invitation from Oceania -- Creative imagination, expanding our horizons and moving forward -- The ocean as gifting life -- The ocean as embrace -- The ocean as space -- Waves of justice and peace -- Deep ocean
"New and imaginative way of understanding God, of appreciating the richness of human diversity and our mutual need for one another for one another as the people of God. The starting point of this exploration is with the people of Polynesia and their profound connection with the ocean. Surrounded on all sides by the vastness of the Pacific, it governs every aspect of their lives. It is their source of life and nourishment, a dynamic living presence that requires them to work in rhythm and harmony with the integrity of creation, the pathway to voyage and discovery, the focus of their stories and songs, their final resting place. In its different moods, the sea both defines their lives and connects them to the wider creation. This richly symbolic understanding of the ocean speaks powerfully to today's world and especially to the church in which difference is often emphasised above harmony and interdependence"--Page 4 of cover.
