Dancing with Powerlessness - Mark Tanner (Bishop of Chester)

How can it be that the Lord of all that has been, will be, and could ever be lies powerless in an animal trough dependant an exhausted mother’s milk for his very survival?

In what universe does Almighty God redeem rebels by letting them murder him?

Powerlessness shocks, but it is writ large through the Scriptures and is the counter-cultural call to transform the world. We who seek to follow have much to learn.

Dancing with Powerlessness is the third of three books exploring the space ‘between Stones and Firelight’, searching for practical grace in a complex and demanding world. This third book unpacks the lost theme of powerlessness in both Testaments, offering practical wisdom for everyday faithfulness.

This material is primarily published for use in the Diocese of Chester (Mark Tanner is the Bishop of Chester), but all are welcome to engage with it.
