Looking for ways to be strong yet tender, independent yet intimate,
women today strive toward ever greater understanding of themselves,
their relationships with family and friends, and their place in the
world. Written by clergy and lay women from all around the country,
this compilation of prayers and poems is the collective wisdom of
contemporary women who base their search for such understanding on
the belief that all of life must be seen against the backdrop of a
vital faith. Offered in a spirit of sharing and encouragement,
these prayers and poems are as rich, intricate, and complex as the
women's lives they represent. Women's Uncommon Prayers covers the
full spectrum of emotions from desperate pleas for compassion in
times of despair to quiet gratitude for the simple blessings of
everyday living, to raucous praise during moments of celebration.
These prayers touch on an amazing array of topics organized under
the categories of identity, daily life, stages of life,
spirituality, and ministry. Also included are comprehensive
sections of seasonal and corporate prayers.
'In the midst of life we are in death.' The words of the Book of
Common Prayer have permeated deep into the English language all
over the world. For nearly 500 years, and for countless people, it
has provided a background fanfare for a marriage or a funeral march
at a burial. Yet this familiarity also hides a violent and
controversial history. When it was first produced the Book of
Common Prayer provoked riots and rebellion, and it was banned
before being translated into a host of global languages and adopted
as the basis for worship in the USA and elsewhere to the present
day. This edition presents the work in three different states: the
first edition of 1549, which brought the Reformation into people's
homes; the Elizabethan prayer book of 1559, familiar to Shakespeare
and Milton; and the edition of 1662, which embodies the religious
temper of the nation down to modern times. 'magnificent edition'
