A note on liturgy:
As part of our celebration of women's many contributions to the Church, in addition to our 40-Minute Forums, we have sought to intentionally feature women in our service leaflet and in our liturgy. Some of the ways we have done this include:
- Drawing from A Sanctified Art, a sacred arts collective, featuring women's art on the cover;
- Using the Collect of the Day from Prayers for an Inclusive Church;
- Drawing on the Inclusive Psalter for psalms where possible;
- Featuring female hymn writers and composers in our worship.
Stay tuned for a reading list of female spiritual authors!
