Writing my way to an inclusive and affirming Church
Prayers for Sunday 16th May 2021
Peace, Jesus. We plead for Peace. Your world is crying out.
You who lived in occupied territory. You who were killed by an enemy state. You who lived a life under threat of violence from the moment you were born.
Guide us in another way. A better way than missiles and conflict and burning and death. A way that leads to life.
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!
