Notes

Many people have a running list of losses that they many not even be aware of, as well as a number of new beginnings that they may never have celebrated. Change often results in stress. How can the possibilties change offers for individual and communal transformation be captured? Where and when can God be encountered as lives change?

Rituals can do much to relieve the stress of our lives, but they also have the capacity to help us manage transitions and transform our lives. We can become more compassionate, spiritually alive people by being aware of who we are and what we are called to be in a rapidly changing culture.

This book explores the meaning of rituals for individuals, families, and congregations, and gives suggestions for rituals, such as:

commemoration of a stillbirth or miscarriage

after divorce

moving into puberty

liturgy for victims of violence

a service of healing
