Prayers for an Inclusive Church

This is a beautifully crafted collection of prayers for each Sunday and most major festivals in the church's year, together with additional material for each season. The Sunday prayers - known as collects in the Anglican tradition - follow the three-year cycle of the Revised Common Lectionary. The author uses expansive and inclusive language and imagery to address and describe God, to describe God's presence and action in the world, and to describe the people of God. Ideal for use at weekday celebrations, including the Book of Common Prayer Order for Eucharist.

Steven Shakespeare is a priest in the Church of England and the chaplain at Liverpool Hope University, Liverpool. He is the co-author, with Hugh Rayment-Pickard, of The Inclusive God. Reclaiming Theology for an Inclusive Church, by London's Canterbury Press.
