Extraordinary life changes are frequently signaled by such ordinary experiences as the birth of a child, a child’s first day of school, a teenager’s acquisition of adult driving privileges, a career change, moving into a new home, and retirement from one’s life work. Marking Time provides readers with simple rituals that invite mindful, in-the-moment reflection on the significant moments in life and helps to frame them within the perspective of Christian faith and values.
Encompassing a broad range of life-cycle experiences from birth to death, Linda Witte Henke offers readers fully developed rituals suitable for reproduction and immediate use. Each rite includes an introduction with directions for preparation and use of the ritual, making the book useful even for those who have never participated in or led a ritual before. Marking Time includes ceremonies to mark important life events, such as pregnancy, the first day of school, children leaving home, and marriage, plus rites that mark the more difficult times, such as the death of a pet, times of unemployment, suffering due to natural disasters, the moving of a loved-one to an assisted-care residence, and many others.
About the Author: Author Linda W. Henke's interest in ritual has evolved gradually over a period of several years. First as a lay professional in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and more recently as an ordained minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Henke has become increasingly aware that our culture's hunger for ritual far exceeds the availability of resources that speak to that hunger. MARKING TIME is the natural marriage of her background as a journalist (bachelor's and master's degrees in journalism and a successful public relations career) and her more recent experiences as a parish pastor, preacher, retreat facilitator, and seminar leader.
Henke previously authored FROM THE SEEDS THAT WERE SOWN, a collection of devotional reflections on her experiences in preparation for ordained ministry, as well as numerous newspaper and magazine articles and book reviews. She currently serves as pastor of Saint Peter Lutheran Church in Englewood, Colorado.
