Church, World, Mission by Alexander Schmemann

A concise collection of theological essays that argues the Church’s mission flows from its liturgical and sacramental life rather than from social or political activism; it insists that authentic witness to Christ is lived in baptism and the Eucharist, critiques secularizing approaches that separate worship from daily life, and calls the Church to a faithful, incarnational presence in the world rooted in tradition, renewal, and ecumenical responsibility.
