something new to say : Philip Garside Publishing Limited : 9781991027375 : 1991027370 : 17 Nov 2022 : Something new to say is a collection of liturgy resources for the season of Advent and Christmas. Author Bronwyn White lives in Aotearoa New Zealand, where Christmas comes at summertime. This collection celebrates a festive season where pohutukawa and rata are in bloom, friends gather around barbecues or picnic at the beach on Christmas Day, and many people travel to catch up with family or enjoy school holidays. The prayers, affirmations, reflections, and blessings are in inclusive language, with an emphasis on "faith not belief" and social justice. This book is ideal for progressive and liberal faith communities and churches. Lay and ordained worship leaders will find them especially helpful, and there's plenty for individual contemplation and enjoyment too.
