Another practical booklet from the Wild Goose Resource Group series, this is a reflective order of worship for Good Friday. Narrated by St. John the Apostle, the service recounts Jesus’ Passion through the eyes and mouths of some of those involved using song, script, prayer, sound effects, and suggested instrumental music. Originally written for radio, it is a poignant and participative take on the archetypal passion play. It works as a service in itself, or parts of it can be extracted as small monologues or prayers in other services. A wonderful resource for those who plan and organize Holy Week services.

This book combines thankfulness with a passion for justice, both of which are central to our relationship with a God, with creation, with each other, and with our sisters and brothers throughout the world who, because of greed and injustice, will not receive their daily bread today. It invites us to recommit ourselves to act for justice each time we share a meal. It is also a celebration - of food, of diversity, of sharing, of Creator and creation. From a wide range of contributors: Iona Community members and friends; other religious communities and houses of welcome; humanitarian organisations; various faiths and traditions.
Blessed Be Our Table ~~Blessed Be Our Table|A000|~2716~5315~~
A six-day cycle of prayer in the Celtic tradition, incorporating the daily themes used in Iona Abbey: justice and peace, prayer for healing, care for the earth, commitment to Christ, the communion of heaven and earth, and welcome and hospitality. What is deepest in us, beyond the distortions of ignorance or wrongdoing, is the image of God. To see the essential goodness of creation, which is a revelation of God, helps us avoid the pitfall of separating spirit and matter. The rich and simple prayers in this book are new expressions of the words and imagery of Alexander Carmichael’s Carmina Gaedelica. These prayers were not used in religious contexts but were the songs of people’s daily lives. It is hoped that they will help us realise anew that the life of heaven is inseparably woven into the life of earth.

What was Jesus of Nazareth really like? What effect did he have on those he met and befriended? How did he impart his teachings and perform his miracles? These are the questions that James Harpur explores through Joseph of Arimathea, one of the most enigmatic characters of the gospels. After the crucifixion, Joseph embarks on a quest to find out who Jesus really was, seeking out those who knew him personally. These witnesses, all mentioned in the gospels, tell their stories, each contributing a unique insight into the Nazarene. The Gospel of Joseph of Arimathea uses both prose and poetry to create a parallel narrative to the gospels, amplifying the events they describe. It is a book that will take you on a journey into the heart of ancient Palestine, a journey into the mystery of Jesus.

The first of two books addressing the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ of congregational singing. Unapologetically anecdotal, it deals not with musical theories but with the reasons why we, as humans, are compelled to express ourselves in song, and how best to enable people to do so. John has compiled a list of charming introspections about what motivates us to sing or prevents us from singing.This highly accessible analysis offers ten persuasive answers to the question ‘Why do we sing?’ Each is explored with a wealth of illustration and practical insight. A must-read for choir directors, cantors, and song leaders.
The Singing Thing~~The Singing Thing|A000|~2716~5321~~
In Book 1 of The Singing Thing, John Bell explored the reasons why people sing. In Book 2 his concerns are learning and teaching. How do people pick up new music? How do you encourage a congregation to learn a new song? How can you breathe new life into quality hymnody which has gone stale? With both tact and irreverence, John Bell shares insights culled from over 20 years in which he and his colleagues in the Wild Goose Resource and Worship Groups have taught new songs in venues as diverse as old people’s homes with half a dozen hearing- aid users to Greenbelt Festival with over 10,000 gathered for worship.
