This new book from Canterbury Press includes contributions from myself and others at St Martin-in-the-Fields.
The publisher's description is as follows:
'All churches have had to learn to do things differently during closure due to the coronavirus pandemic. None has been more imaginative or inventive than London's St Martin-in-the-Fields. Through its HeartEdge programmes, it has continued many aspects of its ministry, and developed significant new initiatives and is now a virtual college with an impressively varied programme for practitioners.
Here the St Martin's team reflects theologically and shares its newly found pastoral and practical wisdom in many areas:
Finding God in Lockdown
Meeting God and One Another Online
Rediscovering Contemplative Prayer
Facing Grief amidst Separation
Preaching at Such a Time as This
Singing the Lord's Song in a Strange Time
Hearing Scripture Together in Difficult Times
Praying through Crisis
Creating a Community of Practitioners
Finding Faith at Home
Conclusion: A Strategy for Transformation
Contributors are all on the staff at St Martin's and key figures in HeartEdge: Sam Wells, Richard Carter, Sally Hitchiner, Fiona MacMillan, Jonathan Evens and Andrew Earis.'
The book uses a similar format to our earlier Liturgy on the Edge: Pastoral and attractional worship in which I wrote about the creation of Start:Stop at St Stephen Walbrook.
Both books can be bought from the online shop at St Martin-in-the-Fields, as can my own The Secret Chord, an exploration of what makes a moment in a 'performance' timeless and special, co-authored with Peter Banks.
