Spirituality in Season Summary

Spirituality in Season: Growing Through the Christian Year by Ross Thompson

We are used to making Lent a special time for spiritual renewal, and there is an immense amount of material available to help us, but much less has been written on the other seasons of the year which can also be a vital way of aligning the whole of our lives, with our varied experiences and moods, with the life of Christ in its many aspects. This resource explores the traditions that have shaped each season, the lectionary readings, and the liturgies observed across the ecumenical spectrum. It aims to unlock the great potential of the seasons, both for those who plan and lead worship, and for those who use it as a resource for their own and others' spiritual growth.It draws out the distinctive spiritual 'mood' of each season and relates it to stages or phases of our own human journey. Each chapter offers: an overview of the season, an exploration of seasonal liturgies, the lectionary and other resources, insights from writers from the Christian tradition, creative ideas for celebrating the season, and ideas for study and reflection.

Spirituality in Season Reviews

'full of insights, full of new ways of looking at old issues, full of working suggestions about how spirituality and liturgy can be linked a wonderful read. Melvyn Matthews 'Ross Thompson has written a guide to the spiritual life which links the seasons and how we mark then to how the church celebrates the liturgical year and how we feel our moods and their ups and downs.This is a book that no-one else could have written. Ross has the liturgical year in his bones, and can write engagingly about how we experience the natural cycles in a way that makes sense of what we feel. This is a book that spans disciplines and cultures, and we will all be stimulated by reading it.This is a book that connects our spirituality with how we live, how we experience the ebb and flow of the year and its seasons and how we experience the seasonal celebration culture that is becoming how we do church.' David Stancliffe Bishop of Salisbury
