Description
Author Biography
Google Preview: Ted Loder continues to inspire readers with his powerful prayers, sermons, and reflections. His books speak to the human experience, drawing out the beauty and struggle as we respond to the grace of God. Loder is perhaps best known for Guerrillas of Grace: Prayers for the Battle, which speaks to the battle Christians face against the principalities and powers, where our weapon is prayer. Wrestling the Light: Ache and Awe in the Human-Divine Struggle gives expression to the human struggle to meet God in our daily lives, where God calls and invites us to join him in his grace. While Loder may be recognized for his prayers, The Haunt of Grace: Responses to the Mystery of God's Presence is a book of his sermons from his time as a senior pastor for over forty years. Finally, Tracks in the Straw: Tales Spun from the Manger is Loder's presentation of the birth story of Jesus from different perspectives and voices, helping us to explore the deeper meaning of Christmas. The collection provides the reader with some of Ted Loder's most memorable works with a variety of meditations for reflection.; The Rev. Dr. Theodore W. Loder served for almost thirty-eight years as senior minister of one of Philadelphia's most unusual churches. The First United Methodist Church of Germantown, named "The Oddball Church" by the Philadelphia Inquirer Magazine, is a thriving, ethnically mixed metropolitan congregation of over one thousand members. Loder's social activism grows out of a long history of involvement in social causes. He marched with Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1960s, opened his church as a Public Sanctuary Church, and cofounded a job-training program for high school dropouts, a nonprofit housing renovation corporation, and an ecumenical consortium to rehabilitate abandoned houses. He serves on the Philadelphia Mayor's Advisory Commission for Children and Families. A graduate of Yale Divinity School with an honorary doctorate from Willamette University, Dr. Loder currently also serves on the National Advisory Board of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.; Google Preview content
