Overview

In a world and nation marked by suffering and division, Marcus Halley invites readers to explore rituals of healing and reconciliation in parish practice. How is Christian community fostered when healing and reconciliation are prayerfully and actively sought? How do the ancient rituals of healing practiced among us today form a community committed to the Way of Love, the Way of Healing? And how does such practice lead the Christian community to seek peace? The basics of Episcopal and Anglican worship in North America are explored in this Little Books series, which invites parishioners and newcomers to consider both the beauty of worship and Episcopal ethical commitments.

Rev. Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows, Bishop, Episcopal Diocese of Indianapolis “The Little Books on Liturgy series is a gift to the church that will inspire parish conversations, liturgy planners, and individual study.

This book is for everyone who wants to engage in the critical work of reconciliation, healing, and peace-making.” —The Rev. Dr. Paul Fromberg, author, The Art of Disruption
