Are you searching for prayers to respond to injustice? Rally, a collection of more than 50 call-and-response prayers, encourages you to pray with others who share your concerns. It supplies words to help you lift your voice to God about such issues as racism; the abuse of power and privilege; mistreatment of migrants and refugees; lives tragically lost; our violent society; white supremacy; and people being marginalized because of their gender, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, or economic status. Rally contains prayers for perpetrators, for loving our bodies, for listening to one another, for those who have been wounded by the church. In this resource, you will find prayers that evoke hope and connection, guidance for sifting through the news and social media headlines, laments about destruction of the earth, and pleas for loving one another even when we disagree on issues.

On the day she discovered she was pregnant, Hannah Shanks received Communion. She heard Jesus' familiar words, "This is my body, broken; This is my blood poured out," in a new way and felt closer to God. This Is My Body reflects on Communion, a central act of the Christian faith, and proclaims that God can be seen through the eyes, bodies, and experiences of women. "Women and mothers are not left out of the story," Shanks writes. "Our selves, our bodies, and our experiences have always testified to the glory of God--not as a special story relevant only to women who bear children but to everyone."
