Grief, Loss And Pain In Churches
A handbook to help pastors and pastoral workers. Every day people in churches experience loss events; it may be through a bereavement but it might also be due to many other factors such as unemployment, moving house, children leaving home, divorce and even the loss of the minister when they move on. The aim of this book is to help ministers and pastoral workers to be more prepared and equipped to handle loss issues. It includes an understanding of the variety of loss events in a parish, how to get alongside the bereaved and those carrying loss issues, understanding the variety of grief reactions, preparing a policy within the church and recognising one's own losses in life. This is a practical hands-on book that all pastors need to read.Canon Dr Bill Merrington writes from his practical experience in city, town and country churches. He has carried out extensive research on loss issues both in Britain and internationally. Bill is currently the Lead Chaplain at Bournemouth University.

Christ Our Peace
Christ Our Peace offers six short, reflective services for use throughout Lent and Holy Week. Drawing on the early Church's tradition of using the weeks before Easter as a time of instruction, reflection and meditation, this collection provides one service for each of the four Sundays in Lent, together with Passion Sunday and Palm Sunday. Written by Stuart Thomas, the services are designed to be used flexibly. Each can stand on its own, but the individual elements - prayers, responses, songs and meditations - can equally be extracted and used in other contexts. The material is based on the ASB readings and themes for each Sunday in Lent, but is entirely independent and may be used by churches or Christian groups of any tradition. Recognising that quieter, more reflective services may not attract vast congregations, the book takes its inspiration from Christ's promise to be present 'wherever two or three are gathered'. There is space for silence and meditation, with suggestions for hymns from the New Anglican Edition of Hymns Old and New that match the thoughtful tone of the liturgy throughout. Specifications Format: Paperback - Perfect Bound Size: 160 x 245 mm Publication date: 1996 Page count: 32 pages ISBN: 9780862098988 Contents Introduction First Sunday in Lent Second Sunday in Lent Third Sunday in Lent Fourth Sunday in Lent Passion Sunday Palm Sunday

Fast And Feast
Lent is traditionally a time of fasting. All too easily we can see fasting in negative terms - of things given up. But we should also consider what we could increase and do more of. This set of daily Lenten meditations suggests something of each - some things to give up and some to take on. To make use of it will be something of a Lenten discipline: a fast from some activities whilst nourishing hearts and minds. Fast & Feast is also suitable for personal reflection and prayer.

'That's it. I am free. I am going to leave and I am going to Maggie and Michael, and I am going to be a husband and a father.'For many years a Catholic priest and a member of a religious order, author Brian Fahy struggled to find a path to freedom. Finding Maggie was his liberation. But even then he struggled to be free.In this book - both love story and memoir - Brian tells of his spiritual struggle with the Catholic Church, eventually leaving to be with the woman he loves; of her illness and her death at the age of just 47; of their son, Michael; and of the great human journey that we all make to stand in the light of the sun.Brian often joked with his wife that their story 'would knock Dr Zhivago into a cocked hat!'. In this book there is no Russian revolution to give dramatic background, but instead the revolutions struggling to be born in the Catholic Church.
