Book Reviews of Never Silent
Book Review: Clarion Call
Summary: 5 Stars
Full disclosure: I attend Church of the Apostles, in Fairfield, CT, where Thad Barnum is the Bishop.
This important book is a clarion call to Christians everywhere, to speak up and act when their brothers and sisters are oppressed anywhere.
The world averted its gaze, and stood silently by, as more than 800,000 people were methodically slaughtered in 100 days. Bishop John Rucyahana returned from exile in Uganda days after the main killing spree had ended, witnessed the devastation, and ministered to those left, both victims and perpetrators.
When he saw what he considered to be spiritual genocide in America, with purportedly Christian leaders oppressing portions of the laity, he saw the parallels with Rwanda's season of abandonment, and he spoke up, seeking leadership in the US that would succor the oppressed. Finding nobody in authority willing to take a stand, he put in motion events that resulted in Rwanda and Southeast Asia sponsoring missions and missionaries to the US. To bring spiritual relief to their brothers and sisters in America, the churches in Africa and Asia had to accept an increase in their physical hardships, refusing to accept money from the wealthy American church they sought to reform.
Thad Barnum relates the tale in clear, compelling prose. He is crisp and complete on the details, yet manages to universalize the message. The humility with which he tells this story invites the reader to adopt the same spirit of humility, and to ask the questions:
When have I stood silent when I should have spoken up?
What will I do the next time?
Summary of Never Silent
Thaddeus Barnum deftly and honestly recounts firsthand the remarkable events and intrigue surrounding the Anglican-Episcopal crisis over the blatant denial of Scripture and the ordination of openly gay ministers. But while this is a story that continues to capture international media attention, as Rwandan bishop John Rucyahana insists, It's not merely about the gay issue. It's about the gospel, and who Christ is. "You need to hear this story. You may not be Episcopalian, but what happened to them is already happening to you." Carefully documented and yet powerfully told, with complete index. Foreword by Rick Warren; endorsements by J. I. Packer, Chuck Colson, and Christianity Today Managing Editor, Mark Galli.Church History Books
