Queering Christian Worship
A groundbreaking collection of writings that place queer ritual at the center of the theological conversation. In this collection of essays, leading scholars in queer theology and liturgical studies explore the ways in which the distinctive theological voices of LGBTQIA+ Christians challenge and expand thinking and practice around worship in new directions. This challenge has expanded in the past decades, as obstacles to the full participation of queer Christians—particularly in marriage and ordination—have fallen. Organized into three main parts, the volume begins with an introduction to queer engagement with ritual practices, continues with a series of case studies that examine queer texts and contexts, and concludes with an examination of the horizons of queer liturgical theology and practice. Throughout the volume, Queering Christian Worship provides new imagination and tools to those who study and curate Christian worship across traditions.
In the Land of the Willing
In this follow-up work to his earlier In the Land of the Living: Prayers Personal and Public, Kenneth L. Sehested sustains his evocative poetic imagination and capacity "for finding the right text at the right time," as Walter Brueggemann notes in his foreword. Sehested, an award-winning author and activist as well as a poet, pastor, and sometime stonemason, knows that serious thinking about Jesus is transacted on the road and then translated in liturgy to provoke the kind of praise that rankles the world (as it is) with a foretaste of what it might be. Most of the pieces in this work have been used first in worship in his own Circle of Mercy Congregation. "This book is a great gift," Brueggemann writes, and "it issues in a calling that befits the coming rule of God." Or, as Sehested writes in his meditation on John the Baptizer, "There's no getting right with God. There's only getting soaked."

Circ
Razvan Popescu lives in a flat overlooking the seaside town of Skegness. He keeps himself to himself and few know the man at all. Even fewer know his past, which he has tried to leave behind in the Romanian woods. But when a tattooed man is found murdered on the beach, it is clear that some of that past has followed him to this tacky seaside town. As battle erupts within the criminal fraternity, dark forces gather around the town and Popescu's acquaintances find themselves dragged into a world of violence, fire and fairy tales. One thing is certain: the circus has come to town. Ten To One is a novel writing project in which ten authors write a novel together, seeking the approval of a judging panel and a public vote to keep their character in the story. Circ, the first Ten To One novel, is written by Simon Fairbanks, Maria Mankin, Yasmin Ali, Jason Holloway, Livia Akstein Vioto, Luke Beddow, Danielle Rose Bentley, William Thirsk-Gaskill, Sue Barsby and Giselle Thompson.
Gifts in Open Hands

These beautifully written pieces can be used in worship and celebration of sacraments, sacred seasons, and all other occasions in the life of the church.
LIFE IS A PARTY!
Ich war in der Sauna vom Elysée Hotel, Hamburg City, bisschen Massage danach, Schwimmen und so – und gehe mit einem Champagner auf die Terrasse. Da sagt eine Stimme aus dem Hintergrund: »Sie lassen es sich aber gut gehen, das Einzige, was jetzt noch fehlt, ist guter Sex.« Daraufhin ich: »Dafür sind Sie gleich zuständig.« Wenn Claudia Obert am Start ist, kann man sich sicher sein, dass sie kein Blatt vor den Mund nimmt. Mit ihren »Luxus Clever«-Boutiquen hat sie sich nicht nur als Geschäftsfrau einen Namen gemacht, sondern parallel dazu auch als Reality-TV-Star mit einem unstillbaren Durst nach Champagner. In populären Unterhaltungsshows wie Promis unter Palmen oder Promi Big Brother hat sie sich innerhalb kürzester Zeit einen festen Platz im Herzen der Trash-TV-Liebhaber gesichert. Pünktlich zu ihrem 60. Geburtstag legt die Luxus-Lady wirklich alle Karten auf den Tisch. Ehrlich wie noch nie gewährt sie einen schonungs- und hüllenlosen Einblick in ihr wildes Leben voller Sexabenteuer und großer Deals in der Modewelt sowie in die erotischen Abgründe der High Society.
