FOR DISTRIBUTION OUTSIDE THE USA. Common Prayer helps today's
diverse church pray together across traditions and denominations.
With an ear to the particulars of how various liturgical traditions
pray, and using an advisory team of liturgy experts, the authors
have created a tapestry of prayer that celebrates the best of each
tradition. The book also includes a unique songbook composed of
music and classic lyrics to over fifty songs from various
traditions, including African spirituals, traditional hymns,
Mennonite gathering songs, and Taize chants. Tools for prayer are
scattered throughout to aid those who are unfamiliar with liturgy
and to deepen the prayer life of those who are familiar with
liturgical prayer. Ultimately, Common Prayer makes liturgy dance,
taking the best of the old and bringing new life to it with a fresh
fingerprint for the contemporary renewal of the church. Churches
and individuals who desire a deeper prayer life and those familiar
with Shane Claiborne and New Monasticism will enjoy the tools
offered in this book as a fresh take on liturgy.
Experience a deeper prayer life through this fresh take on ancient
liturgy for believers today. Designed to help individuals,
families, and congregations pray together across denominations,
this book of common prayer will help you and your community join
together each day with the same songs, scriptures, and prayers.
