About this product
Product Information
Terry Allen Moe came as pastor to Redeemer Lutheran, a traditional, working-class congregation in a poorer, mixed-race neighborhood in Portland, Oregon, in 1981.

Reviews
"Don't miss this riveting account of Pastor Moe and his congregation's spiritual journey. Starting as a mostly white Lutheran church in a Black neighborhood, they went beyond the standard church structure, beyond providing traditional community services, to the foreign realm of community organizing to challenge those in the halls of power. They confronted city councilors, mayors, bad landlords, and red-lining banks, and along the way created a unique church-community structure that everyone who wants to make a difference in the world should pay attention to." -- Jeff Merkley, US Senator for Oregon and former member of Pastor Moe's congregation "Terry Moe's vision, creativity, courage, authenticity, and collaborative spirit shimmers through the pages of this book--a primer in how to grow into formidable spiritual leadership with our struggling neighboring communities and challenged mainline congregations. Blending the wisdom of cutting-edge community organizing, ancient spiritual practices, and intentional congregational life, Pastor Moe's work is and always has been well ahead of its time. Read this! You will discover a wise companion and mentor for your own journey." -- Laurie Larson Caesar, bishop of the Oregon Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America "An insightful, self-revelatory chronicle of Pastor Moe's thirty-year odyssey in which both he and his faith community were transformed through contemplative organizing. A valuable resource for clergy and lay leaders who are committed to courageous renewal for their congregations." -- Dennis Jacobsen, author of A Spirituality for Doing Justice (Fortress Press, 2021) "A compelling story about what is possible when leaders are broken open from the inside out to discover the mystery of God's transforming power. Over four decades of pastoral ministry Terry Moe has been integrating spirituality and the practices of community organizing to engage congregation and community. Much practical wisdom here for how to do transformational ministry in this time between what the church and world has been and the new reality that is trying to emerge." -- Ray Pickett , Rector, Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary "Not every person sees fire along their path. Not every congregation organizes for mission. Our gifts are unique. Our communities complex. The Bush Still Burns is filled with the miracles of Christian mission. It is about the tenacious vision of one pastor and the faithful journey of a single congregation. You will find your passions reflected here, and your imagination pried open." -- Rev. Dave Brauer-Rieke , former Bishop, Oregon Synod, ELCA "In a world threatened by kleptocracy and environmental plunder, Terry Moe harks back to the early rabbinic sentiment that God created and dismantled many worlds before arriving at this one. Courageously, his own three decades' experience of taking apart and remaking his own parish links discerning political organizing with the discovery of Spirit outside the walls of church and synagogue. Like a bush on fire, he suggests, there are human stories waiting to be told, if we pay attention. We can go on worshiping tepidly, but his own humble narrative points us toward what's more incandescent, our wish to make the world more just and kind." -- Joey Wolf, Rabbi Emeritus, Havurah Shalom, Portland, Oregon, "Don't miss this riveting account of Pastor Moe and his congregation's spiritual journey.
