A Women's Lectionary for the Whole Church Year B
"In this project I propose at least two new lectionaries, a year "W," a women's readings year that can be added to the current Episcopal or Revised Common (RCL) Lectionaries, and a new three-year cycle. How would a lectionary centering women's stories, chosen with womanist and feminist commitments in mind frame the presentation of the scriptures for proclamation and teaching? More simply, what would it look like if women built a lectionary focusing on women's stories? How is the story of God told when stories of women's brutalization and marginalization are moved from the margins of canon and lectionary, and held in the center in tension with stories of savvy and strong women, women whose co...
God Is Still Speaking
A Year of Reflection "God is still speaking" started as an advertising slogan for the United Church of Christ, but more than 20 years later, it endures as a faith proclamation: God is still speaking—in the Bible but also through the arts, in the sciences, and in the struggles for justice. God is still speaking—because the world is still evolving. God is still speaking—and God isn't finished with us yet! God is still speaking—so we should keep engaging our faith with curiosity, wonder, and even playfulness. If you wonder whether God has anything to say in these tumultuous times; if your faith is feeling stuck or finding itself in unknown territory; if you think devotional books are sappy or pious or irrelevant; God Is Still Speaking will give your spirit a God-filled jolt! Each devotional begins with scripture, ends with prayer, and brings bold encouragement to your day. God is Still Speaking: 365 Daily Devotionals is a collection of wondering, provocative, and playful reflections for the person who thinks devotional books are "too pious." Spend 365 days immersed in the affirmation: God is still speaking!
Denial Is My Spiritual Practice
Two ministers share their own stories about struggling to live out their faith. It’s the sort of experience familiar to many: Somewhere between illness and divorce, abusive relationships and brushes with death, faith failed to provide answers . . . or we failed to live as though we believed faith held answers. But surely, it’s different for clergy, the ones who preach and practice faith? But faith requires more, and authors Martha Spong and Rachel G. Hackenberg, who grew up in the church and became ordained ministers, know first-hand about coming to terms with God and life, the need to search for answers . . . or at least assurance we are not alone in struggling for renewed hope. Denial is My Spiritual Practice is a companion for the wondering and struggling. The authors offer their own stories as evidence that God remains, both when faith fails and when faith finds new understanding. They combine stark life experiences, offbeat spiritual perspectives, and Scripture to offer comfort, grace, laughter, and a few tears along the way.
