Writing my way to an inclusive and affirming Church
A Prayer for Sunday 10th May
As we gather dispersed today, as we find church in our own ways today, as we negotiate this new normal at a time of renewed uncertainty around the weeks to come. God, be with us.
As we seek to self care, as we strive to balance work and life, as we stay at home craving to be free to leave. God, be with us.
As we care for our neighbours, as we check on our friends, as we attend to our family, God be with us.
As we reach for the convenience food, move from bed to sofa and barely keep it together. God be with us.
As we just take it one breath at a time, one moment at a time, one prayer at a time. God be with us.
I am a Music Therapist, Worship Leader and Theologian with The Ordinary Office, an online community for disabled and disenfranchised Christians. As a writer, seeker and learner, I have a special interest in music and spirituality, and I believe that Jesus’ message of love for one another supersedes religious rules and doctrines that harm. Focusing on inclusive and liberation theologies, through a lens of disability and trauma-informed approaches, I take my lived experiences and transform pain into action, living out God’s call upon my life as a ‘Twitter Mystic’ and ‘Prophetic Voice’ – although I just get on with calling things as I see them without the fancy labels, really.
I hope you find something here which interests and challenges you. Feel free to contact me for discussion any time!
