New e-book

Little Guy (Downloadable book)

Journey of hope

Emma Major

E-book: Little Guy is a series of 25 images and poems that emerged over a period of two weeks, with a sense of urgency. Then, less than a month later, coronavirus appeared in the UK. We had to distance from each other; isolate, alone at home in a situation none of us has ever faced before. The rush to get Little Guy onto paper started to make sense.

Many people battle with anxiety even in the best of circumstances; it is part of being a sensitive, fragile human being in a world that can be both frightening and full of wonder.

Little Guy starts off anxious and depressed, before moving through hope and trust to a point where he is able to relate to the world and thrive again.

Little Guy journeys with us.

Emma Major is a mum, wife, friend, pioneer lay minister, blind wheelchair user and poet. She has recorded audio descriptions of every picture in the Little Guy book to ensure that everyone can access it.

Two Rogation Liturgies (PDF Download) Mary Low

Digital download: Two liturgies based on the old tradition of rogation days, taken from the book Cherish the Earth, by Mary Low. On rogation days, people used to walk in procession round their fields and parishes, asking for God’s blessing on their work, stopping at various ‘stations’ on the way. Although this tradition fell into disuse with the increasing industrialisation of society, some churches – often those in cities – have recently begun experimenting with such liturgies again, seeing them as a way of praying for the whole of creation. 20 pages
