About this title

From the Back Cover

Recent years have seen a growing demand from individuals and from churches for prayers, music, and liturgical material that address the global nature of the Christian family. This collection is a procession of prayers and meditations written by Christians from Asia, Africa, North and South America, Australia, and Eastern and Western Europe. Categorized in chapters that follow the life of Christ, these prayers become a companion to lectionaries and prayer cycles and serve as a source for achieving greater solidarity among Christians around the world.

A Procession of Prayers provides a rich source of material for personal reflection, offering those who are responsible for preparing liturgy a uniquely comprehensive, ecumenical and indexed collection of worship resources that can be used anywhere in the world.

John Carden was editor of the World Council of Churches' ecumenical prayer cycle, With All God's People. He has worked as an Anglican priest in Pakistan, Jordan, and Egypt, and was Asia Secretary for the Church Mission Society.
