Introduction 
Polycrisis and Christian Witness
Apocalyptic Clarity

1. A crisis-shaped world requires apocalyptic clarity
2. Economic structures are the greatest obstacle to Christian witness 

3. Christian formation is not failing. It’s being defeated 

   Resistant Ethos

4. Christians offer attentiveness to a distracted people 
5. Enough is a response to a world of more 
6. The catholicity of the Christian community is its response to a globally-connected world 
7. In an angry world, the Christian answer is mercy 

8. Christian witness is rooted in hope—even if we don’t want it to be

   Resistant Practice

9. Place matters: Christian witness begins in particular and specific locales
10. In a time of widespread migration, Christians must embrace their identity as wanderers as well 

11. Public, shared places resist the dominance of the market.

    Building them up is part of Christian ministry

12. Food is at the center of the church and must be at the center of Christian witness 

    Renewed Church

13. In a mistrusting world, the church is called to be a community of responsibility and solidarity 
14. The church’s future is an ecumenical one—but a very specific kind of ecumenism 

15. The Eucharist sets the agenda for the church
