Life Overflowing
Liturgical Resources published in Wide and Deep (click for link to shop)
(published by MediaCom, 2017)The first four of these were written for the Uniting Church in Australia (UCA) National Assembly meeting in 2012 in Adelaide. The theme for that meeting was ‘Life Overflowing’. They are offered here, with thanks for the work and gifts Professor Andrew Dutney, UCA President (2012-2015). His careful and thoughtful writing and presence has taught me much about where we are called to be.
The further pieces reflect areas of public and prophetic concern in the world. They are offered for people of faith to find focus in their prayers and actions.

and for those around them to offer welcome. It is followed by a blessing.
