Timothy Radcliffe – författare

The indispensable prayer and worship resource for parish groups who wish to place compassion for poor communities at the heart of their worship, life and mission. Timothy Radcliffe introduces each season of the Church's year, and provides a selection of reflections and prayers for use by individuals or groups, including new and specially written material by some of the world's greatest spiritual writers. Just One Year is flexible and easy to use, with practical advice to help plan services - large or small - that people will remember.

Each year, the Holy Week and Easter double issue of the Church Times offers a wealth of seasonal reading and resources for worship and preaching. This volume, like its companion Christmas collection, draws together outstanding features from the past twenty years. It includes:* Meditations on the Stations of the Cross by the poet David Scott;* A short story set in Gethsemane by David Hart;* Timothy Radcliffe on the alternative to conflict symbolised by the Last Supper;* Sam Wells on Pilate and what he - and we - could do differently;* Richard Harries on the art of Good Friday;* Peter Stanford on Judas;* Michael Perham on why Easter celebrations should start in the dark;* Stephen Cleobury on the carols of Easter;* Mark Oakley on the poetry of the cross;* Paula Gooder on why the resurrection is central to faith;* Reflections on the season's lectionary readings, and much besides.In life Jesus had 'nowhere to lay his head' and in death was laid in a borrowed tomb. Mindful of this, all royalties from this book will go to the Church Homeless Trust.
