A Child Laughs | Prayers of Justice and Hope (Mankin and Tirabassi, eds.)
Justice in Worship Bring a world of justice voices to Sunday worship with A Child Laughs, an anthology of reflections, liturgies, and prayers from seventy-seven writers in eleven different countries. Find meditations, worship resources, and action steps on topics of gun violence, addiction, chronic illness, migration, reproductive health, climate change, and more. "A child’s laugh should be the butterfly wing, the ripple-maker, for all the world. There are many children crying—we hear them echoing from news media. It is time to pray for the change of the world in children’s laughter." Read the introduction here. Praise for A Child Laughs “A new gospel for a church deeply embedded in the world and a people looking to the Holy for hope and understanding. It faces squarely the most modern problems, peccadilloes, and pernicious evils that dog us, and help us to see the heaven crammed into earth, right here and now.” The Rev. Molly Baskette, author of Real Good Church and Senior Minister
