This beautiful volume offers poems and other literary readings to
enhance liturgical celebration of the church's Lesser Festivals and
Commemorations. Drawn from both the Anglican Calendar of Common
Worship and the Commemorations in the calendar of the Lutheran Book
of Worship, the book marks almost 120 feasts, including chief ones
celebrated in each tradition or together. A short note before each
passage offers background on the occasion or figure celebrated and
suggests the connection with an idea, image, or story associated
with the feast or its readings. The readings themselves are drawn
from many centuries and countries - including Britian, Ireland,
North America, Africa, and Australia - to bridge literature and
liturgy and promote public worship or private prayer through
imaginative engagement. Writers include Thom Gunn, Stevie Smith,
Niyi Osundare, Charles Causley, Dag Hammarskjold, and may new
voices from around the globe.
