Seasonal Prayers: Meditations on the Epistles

di Alan Stott (Autore)

Clairview Books, 2025

Resplendent with the divine 'creative Voice', the meditative prayers reproduced and studied in this book celebrate the yearly cycle of the seasons and the Christian festivals. The prayers or 'Epistles' are an integral part of the renewed liturgy of The Christian Community, a non-sectarian church founded in 1922. In this invaluable companion, Alan Stott links them with the Psalms - prayers that every Christian priest could once recite. Stott shares the insights of those who continue to hear the Voice or 'musike' - sometimes called 'melos' (tune or musical line). Every tune focuses on the present moment; we recollect the note before and anticipate the one to come. The Australian aboriginals speak of 'song-lines', and we also refer to the 'melody' of a life. Through rhythms, the heart reflects, and we divine the music of Creation. The commentary in Seasonal Prayers reveals a 'singing-speaking, speaking-singing', that connects inner and outer life throughout the yearly cycle.
