Bønner og liturgisk materiale

Hymns in English er en salmebog med mere end 50 salmer fra Den Danske Salmebog på engelsk samt nyoversatte dele af Ritualbogen. Bogen er tænkt som en hjælp til danske kirker og menigheder i Danmark, der ved gudstjenester, kirkelige handlinger og arrangementer har brug for salmer fra Den Danske Salmebog i engelsk oversættelse.Vi har lagt vægt på at finde et udvalg, der dækker de begivenheder, som dukker op i løbet af menneskelivet og de, der dukker op i løbet af et år (kirkeårets højtider, årstiderne). Desuden er medtaget salmer, som vil kunne finde anvendelse ved andre anledninger, hvor menigheden er to- eller flersproget, eksempelvis ved ungdomsstævner/lejre, internationale/økumeniske sammenkomster, gudstjenester med venskabsmenigheder og mindegudstjenester.De fleste salmer er nyoversat af Edward Broadbridge. Nogle salmer findes allerede i en indsunget udgave og er i så fald medtaget i den indsungne version. Ritualerne er nyoversat af Liselotte Horneman Kragh.Udvalget er foretaget af sognepræst Peter Birch, lektor og cand.theol. Anita Hansen Engdahl samt journalist og forfatter Birgit Meister.

Liturgi og musik tager afsæt i gudstjenestens musik set som genre og giver en grundig indføring i den liturgiske musik ved folkekirkens højmesse.Gudstjenesten rummer en mangfoldighed af tekstlige og musikalske former. Oplæsning af bibeltekster og fremsigelse af bønner og andre liturgiske tekster veksler med salmesang, orgelmusik, korsang, evt. messede led og menighedssungne svar.Liturgi og musik beskriver de tekstlige og musikalske former i det ­liturgiske forløb og giver et samlet liturgisk-musikalsk overblik over folkekirkens gudstjenester.Liturgi og musik tager afsæt i gudstjenestens musik set som genre og giver en grundig indføring i den liturgiske musik ved folkekirkens højmesse. Bogen falder i tre dele.Første del opridser kirke­musikkens frie position med fokus på de musikalske valg og den musikalske form­dannelse, der knytter sig til højmessens liturgisk-musikalske led.Anden del indkredser de fire aktører i gudstjenesten (menighed, præst, organist/kirkemusiker og kor/kirkesanger) og beskriver deres aktive roller i det liturgiske forløb.Den tredje del rummer en gennemgang af gudstjenestens liturgiske led og deres aktuelle musikalske iklædninger.Liturgi og musik henvender sig til alle med interesse for højmessen og højmessens musik.Ole Brinth (f. 1954) er uddannet på Det Kongelige Danske Musikkonservatorium med Kirkemusikalsk Diplomeksamen (1980) og Diplomeksamen i Musik­historie og -teori (1985).

For præsten og forfatteren Gudmund Rask Pedersen er samtalen en hjørnesten i tilværelsen. Samtalen med Bibelen, med kirkegængerne, med litteraturen, med den verden, vi er sat i, og de mennesker, vi møder. Samtalen giver anledning til at tænke tanker og få ny viden og anderledes perspektiver. Der er det forunderlige ved samtalen, at den ikke søger mod en konkluderende afslutning: Samtalen finder hele tiden åbninger og nye veje.Det er kirkeårets tekster, der er omdrejningspunktet for Til livsmod. Udvalget af tekster er overvejende fra første tekstrække, og de har været kilde til inspiration og fordybelse for forfatteren i hans mange år som sognepræst. De er blevet som gamle venner, og for hvert besøg er der føjet lidt mere til den fælles historie. Gudmund Rask Pedersen, f. 1957, gartner, cand.theol. Sognepræst siden 1988 i Vær og Nebel sogne, Horsens. Foredragsholder og forfatter til en række bøger i feltet litteratur og kristendom.

Helle S. Søtrup kan sige det, der skal siges, når livet er ved at brænde sammen, når sorgen er for tung at bære, når hjertet bobler over af glæde og når verden som sådan er for skør og skæv, generøs og mild. Anmelderne har sagt meget godt om Søtrups bøger gennem årene:“Søtrup skriver skarpe og smukke digte om tro, samliv og samfund.”“Søtrup skriver ukunstlet, smukt og indsigtsfuldt om kærlighed.”“Søtrups stemme er mild, generøs og underfundig.”“Søtrup skriver vedkommende og med en fint følt poetisk åre.”“Køb dem, læs dem, derhjemme, for din elskede, i din ensomhed, i kirken. Og husk et ekstra eksemplar til at give væk.”

Hvordan taler voksne mennesker med Gud?For mange bliver bøn først en del af tilværelsen i de allermest pressede situationer. Det er denne spontane bøn – bønnen, som man nærmest kan tage sig selv i at bede, der er startpunktet for den vandring, Niels Nymann Eriksen inviterer læseren med på i Bønnens vej.Ifølge Nymann Eriksen handler bøn ikke om kontrol eller om at bemægtige sig verden. Bøn begynder med en smertefuld erkendelse af, at vi ikke har magt over tilværelsen. Men gennem bøn bliver oplevelsen af afmagt forvandlet til en erfaring af frihed.At slå ind på bønnens vej er derfor ikke en genvej til et lettere liv, det er derimod en hjælp til at leve dagliglivet på en mere helhjertet måde.

Bibelhenvisninger sidst på hver side leder dig hele tiden tilbage til Guds Ord.Oplev, hvordan bøn på fantastisk vis kan forvandle dit hjerte, påvirke dit liv og give dig et dybere forhold til Gud gennem Jesus lytter.

Jesus did not say ""take and think."" He said ""take and eat."" This is embodied worship. It includes gestures, rites, kneeling, raising hands, and of course eating and drinking a holy meal with God. These activities are liturgies. Liturgy is the physical, embodied activity of worship--it's what we do in worship--everyone has a liturgy! As such, worship is the church's primary means of discipleship.Instead of fearing to kneel because it's ""Roman Catholic,"" or fearing to raise your hands because it's ""Pentecostal,"" perhaps we should simply see what God recommends in the Scriptures--then without fear and by faith (at the appropriate time) start kneeling, raising our hands, and eating a covenant meal with God (on a weekly basis). The hope is to replace a fear-driven approach to worship with a faith-driven, embodied worship that offers deep, robust, and beautiful worship experiences combined with the hope of great blessings. In doing so, we hope for nothing less than a new reformation--a reformation in worship.

Thomistic theology is rarely associated with liturgical prayer, even by many of St. Thomas's own disciples. Such a dissociation reveals more about the priorities of later Thomism, however, than it does about St. Thomas Aquinas, who himself devoted considerable energy to the contemplation of the sacred liturgy. In Thomistic Mystagogy: St. Thomas Aquinas's Commentaries on the Mass, Urban Hannon considers the saint's teaching on the meaning and purpose of the various rites that surround the holy Eucharist. Drawing on four essential texts-two from St. Thomas's earliest major work, two from his latest; two on the words of the liturgy, two on its actions-this little book pieces together a properly Thomistic commentary on the Mass. "Because in this sacrament the whole mystery of our salvation is embraced," St. Thomas says, "thus it is carried out with greater solemnity." This is a study of that "greater solemnity," and of how St. Thomas believes it relates to "the whole mystery of our salvation."

The Book of Psalms is the Lord's revelation providing His people with substance for worship, lament, reflection, introspection, confession and praise. Accordingly, the Apostle Paul entreats us to sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Yet what has happened to psalm singing in the modern church? Most modern hymnals do contain a faint vestige of the Book of Psalms enduring from the Genevan Psalter. But how seriously does the modern church heed the scriptural admonition to sing psalms? And how can the modern church reclaim the rich treasure contained in the Psalter? The primary reason for resistance is the use of fatigued and dated hymn tunes most often utilized with psalter texts. The truth and authority of God's word does not change, but contemporary culture and musical style are everchanging. This tune collection, 24 New Tunes in Common Meter, is composed to this end to assist churches in the reclamation of the rich theological treasure found in the Book of Psalms and the psalter. Each new tune herein conforms to strophic common meter or common meter doubled. The style is intentionally contemporary with a variety of interesting rhythms, harmonies, color tones, chord extensions and modalities not appearing in traditional hymn tunes. Each new tune is scored for gentle vocal range and easy piano accompaniment. Chord symbols have been provided to facilitate adaptation of rhythm instruments such as guitar, keyboard, bass and drums. My prayer is that your church will find this collection of tunes useful in accessing and reclaiming the Book of Psalms in congregational worship.

Enjoying life, parties, and experiencing new loves. They also wrestled with understanding the world as it pertains to their own families.

God's hand of protection was always around Shameka Neal Johnson, Corey Mason, Ashley James, Miranda Brooks James, Taylor Williams, and Yasmine Duncan; together they prayed and shared a new begining to a new life.In this book enjoy the happy family times, and the worship hour around the church.

Ritual is the area of Buddhist practice that receives the least amount of attention. This book is for both sceptical and enquiring practitioners. Combining research in psychology and cultural studies and the author's own practice, Bodhidasa draws out the liberatory potential of Buddhist ritual. More than a book 'about' Buddhist ritual, this is a personal guide to assist the reader to move more deeply 'into' its practice and benefit from its fruits. 'Bodhidasa invites us to awaken our imaginations and to see the world as a magician might in this delightfully unpretentious book. He skilfully shows us how, far from being extraneous to the Buddhist path, ritual lies at its heart - because it lies at the heart of human life itself.' - Subhadramati, a member of the ordination team at Tiratanaloka Retreat Centre and author of Not About Being Good'I can't think of anyone more on fire with the magic of ritual than Bodhidasa. Bodhidasa's own devotion shows in this always surprising, wonderful book. It will lead anyone who's curious, sceptical, or passionate about ritual to a better understanding of what it's really all about - in heart and in mind.'Candradasa, author of Buddhism for Teens and founder of Free Buddhist Audio and The Buddhist Centre Online'Do devotional practice and ritual have any place in the life of a modern Buddhist? Straight from the heart, Bodhidasa offers an overview of the territory and, above all, the challenge all Buddhists face: to find emotional equivalents for their intellectual understanding.'Nagabodhi, author of Sangharakshita: The Boy, the Monk, the Man'Bodhidasa succeeds in writing both for the newcomer to ritual as well as the old hand: responding to the questions we inevitably ask ourselves - but are sometimes afraid to ask aloud - and offering fresh insights in equal measure. With wit, intimate knowledge of the terrain, and a vivid imagination, he makes a compelling case for ritual as a path to Enlightenment.'Prajnaketu, author of Cyberloka: A Buddhist Guide to Digital Life

Paws to ReflectEvery day God speaks to us, and sometimes His messages come in unexpected ways. He may send a message in a quiet moment, through a friend, or through a difficult experience. But, would God send a message through a foster kitten? Is it really possible that God has a message in bottle feeding, ringworm, infections, incessant mewing, and hissy kittens? He surely does!This book is filled with heartfelt stories, Bible verses, and quotations that show just how God speaks through foster experiences. Instead of coming from a voice like the roar of rushing waters, these lessons come from tiny paws.Enjoy some time cuddling with a furry friend and reflecting on God's handiwork in the lives of foster kittens and cats.

Nowadays the inclusion of hymns, chants and sequences in Eucharistic worship is a well-established and much-loved feature of liturgical celebration that we tend to take for granted. How this came about is the subject of this present fascinating study in which John Blakesley guides us through the growth and development of chant, office hymns, sequences and tropes and their increased use in the Church of the Middle Ages.St Ambrose is credited with introducing hymns into the Western Church in the fourth century, and over the next five centuries hymns in his style were the only legitimate form of liturgical poetry. The revival of learning in the Carolingian period led to an outburst of creativity in the writing of tropes and sequences to be sung at Mass. Though opposed by some churchmen, these non-biblical embellishments were defended by Walafrid, the gentle Abbot of Reichenau, who saw that the inclusion of sung poetry could help reinforce the truths of the Gospel.The greatest exponent of the early sequence was a ninth-century monk from Saint Gall, known as Notker 'the Stammerer', and many examples of his output are included here in translation. Notker's work is contrasted with the more naively exuberant output of the Winchester school and the elaborate biblical typology of the Victorines of Paris, whose sequences are like intricate mosaics of scriptural imagery. The Victorines' interest in contemplative ecstasy was to influence the Rhineland visionaries: the distinctive genius of St Hildegard of Bingen and the liturgical visions of her friend Elisabeth of Schönau. Medieval Christians had a strong sense of the Communion of Saints; their earthly worship really did take place 'with Angels and Archangels' and shared in the worship of Heaven. Nourished through liturgy, poetry, and the visual arts, the roots of this imagery are in the biblical texts used to enrich liturgical celebration and to foster devotion.That the dramatic symbolism of the liturgy could make the events of the Gospel vividly present to the worshipper's mind and heart, is fully demonstrated in this book through translations of poetry inspired by late medieval devotion to the Lord's Passion and Death, the Resurrection and the opening up of the Kingdom of Heaven.

One of the many remarkable things about Jesus is this:He never leaves anything the way He found it. That includes you. Whether water to wine or a broken heart made whole, Jesus is in the transformation business, partnering with His Father's plan to restore each of us to His original design and destiny for us. "I came that they might have life," Jesus said, "and might have it abundantly" (John 10:10). Encounters at the Well will provide you with nine devotional lessons that will draw your heart closer to Jesus as He touches it with His loving, penetrating truth, just like He did with the famous "woman at the well" in John 4 in the Bible. Through your own encounters with Jesus as you work through pages of this book, either on your own or with a group, God's love and grace will come alive to you in a fresh way. Your heart will be renewed and transformed, so you can increasingly experience the life of joy and freedom He intended you to live!

MANY HEARTS, DIFFERENT VOICES,ONE WAVE OF LOVEThis is a time of initiation on the planet. It is marked by polarization in lifestyle, health, politics, civil unrest, and even war. What if these initiations weren't happening to us, but for us? What if humanity could see initiation through the eyes of love?These questions echoed within our hearts prompting us to seek our inner truths and share them at this pivotal time. We explored the initiations of our lives viewing them through the lens of love. Egypt, chosen for its activating energy, became the canvas for this transformative experience. With its unique connection to the planet's voice and throat chakra, Egypt became our stage to confront fears and let truth dance hand in hand with love, creating a beautiful tapestry of inclusiveness.As we traveled the initiate's path along the Nile, the language of soul became a bridge connecting awareness and intuition. It empowered us to embrace the unknown and become open to possibilities arising from life's challenges. Our journey wasn't solely personal; it was a collective effort to prepare for the emerging Age of Truth.Follow us as we gracefully navigate our life's initiations through the eyes of love, and let this book be your gateway to newfound awareness, opening a path to enlightenment. Together we pave the way for a collective shift into a time where inclusivity and empowerment become integral. Join us in this wave of love!
