A Nazareth Manifesto is an eloquent and impassioned ecumenical
proposal for re-envisioning Christianity's approach to social engagement
away from working "for" the people to being "with" them.
- Questions the effectiveness of the current trend of intervention as a
means of fixing the problems of people in distressed and disadvantaged
circumstances
- Argues that Jesus spent 90% of his life simply being among the people
of Nazareth, sharing their hopes and struggles, therefore Christians
should place a similar emphasis on being alongside people in need
rather than hastening to impose solutions
- Written by a respected priest and broadcaster and renowned Christian
ethicist and preacher
