London: Macmillan, 2005. 'Holy Fire invades the church, a fast-breeding light transfiguring faces, transforming the dark stone space. I hear gasps and cheers and sobs and tears. The emotion is overwhelming, the heat suffocating ...' Every Easter the 'miracle' of the Holy Fire is enacted in front of hundreds of the faithful in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. For centuries, Orthodox Christian pilgrims have made the arduous journey to witness it: the proof they need that God favours them far above all other Christians, as well as Jews and Moslems. "Holy Fire" presents the unending battle waged by various denominations of Christian churchmen for their saviour's empty tomb as the microcosm of centuries of wider Christian power struggles. Victoria Clark deftly weaves history, reportage and religion into a fluid and fascinating account that includes the aggressive campaigns of medieval Crusaders, the empire-building of the nineteenth-century European powers, Britain's decision to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine in 1917, and today's zealous, though unlikely, champions of Israel's cause, the Christian Zionists. She explores the contribution that the Christian world has made to the unfolding tragedy of the Holy Land - at a time when it has never been more urgent for the West to see itself as others see it. 294pp..

Geneva: WCC Publications, 2007. In February 2006 thousands of Christians representing over 300 churches in over 100 nations gathered in Porto Alegre, Brazil for the 9th Assembly of the World Council of Churches (WCC). This is the official report of that assembly, with its reports and actions, speeches and presentations, set in context through a narrative introduction by Latin American theologian and church historian Luis Rivera-Pagan. The theme of the assembly, 'God, in your grace, transform the world', expressed a longing for change in human hearts and social institutions. The meeting itself marked the first WCC assembly of the twenty-first century, the first held in South America, the first to convene on the campus of a Roman Catholic university and the first assembly following a review of relations between Orthodox and Protestant believers that culminated in the recommendations of the Special Commission on Orthodox Participation in the WCC (2000-2002). Among the topics addressed at Porto Alegre were poverty and trade, violence and peace-making, healing in an age of HIV and AIDS, current prospects for full and visible unity among the churches, inter-religious dialogue and co-operation in mission amid diversity. The assembly was keenly aware of challenges and opportunities facing the church in today's world.475pp.. ISBN: 9782825415122. Paperback. New/No d/j as Published. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
