Invites readers to use their own voices to enliven personal and
collective worship. What ideas, hopes, dreams, and laments do the
words of worship stir in our hearts and minds? What images of God
swirl up out of our communal prayers and hymns to shape what we
believe and who we are as people of faith? We know that words can
heal and draw us together, or words can hurt and divide. Christian
communities proclaim and embody this wisdom each time we celebrate
God's Word made flesh in Jesus. Words for worship that arise from
worshiping communities themselves, that give voice to their
particular laments and joys, hold an oft-overlooked power. These
communal words are both shaped by and spiral out to speak to global
concerns. Leaders and worshipers in differing contexts write and
speak in a wide variety of ways. As such, this book is for pastoral
leaders, chaplains, and other ministers who imagine, craft, and
offer worship words for each Sunday-and in the diversity of
everyday moments.
All of life is liturgy. People encounter God as they live, work,
and play in human communities and as they work to sustain the
health of communities and the ground on which communities are
built. Liturgy is distilled from everyday life when we peer through
the mist and see the sacramental and spiritual dimensions of daily
actions, objects, conversations, and events. In When I in Awesome
Wonder, Jill Y. Crainshaw explores this dimension of spirituality
and celebrates the ways God's sacramental gifts and presence arise
from and return to everyday human experiences.
