Sundy Euchrist will be employing liturgicl texts dpted from Pryers for n Inclusive Church, work published in 2008 by Dr. Steven Shkespere, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy t Liverpool Hope University in U.K. In this work, Dr. Shkespere hs written complete sequence idiosyncrtic nd poetic collects which respond to ppointed redings for entire three-yer lectionry cycle. The book lso contins Euchristic pryers, confessions, pryers fter Communion, nd or liturgicl texts intended for Anglicn liturgy. His gol, ccording book s introduction, ws to revitlize rt forml pryer, by bringing experiences exclusion nd libertion into dilogue with [Lectionry s] scripturl texts, lwys redy to be surprised by power both to revel new dimensions slvtion. To this end, Shkespere frequently employs unfmilir imges nd concepts, seeking to jr us out preconceived nd limiting imges Divine. Some his most unsettling imges, however, re those tht re drwn most directly from Biblicl texts. Pryer should not be lienting, he sys, nor should it be too comfortble. Out respect for liturgy we re bout to celebrte, plese turn f ll cell phones nd udible devices. Plese, no photogrphy during liturgy.
