Overview

An enduring legacy of the Ecumenical Decade -- Churches in Solidarity with Women (1988-98), is the rich treasury of new liturgical, spiritual and artistic resources which it has generated. Through prayers, meditations, poems and reflections, women around the world, living in different social and cultural contexts and drawing on diverse church traditions, have shared their longing for a new community in Christ. They have spoken of their sorrow and pain -- ""These wounds have driven me to write down my thoughts on all things"", says a 14-year-old Bosnian refugee in one of the contributions to this book -- but have also celebrated their joys and hopes. This new collection of these creative expressions, largely taken from Decade-related events and publications, is an ideal resource for individual meditation, group reflection and the preparation of ecumenical worship services. Included are a series of mediations for Holy Week and some 20 songs of prayer and praise.
