Changing Attitude Ireland is delighted to announce the release of a new resource, Pride in Prayer and Worship: LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Resources and Themes for Pride Season.
Edited by Dr Scott Golden, this new booklet has been produced to support the Church’s pastoral imagination by providing prayers, readings, music suggestions, symbolic actions and service templates that honour LGBTQIA+ people, couples, families and communities with dignity, theological seriousness and joy.
It is offered as a practical and prayerful resource for those involved in leading worship, and for families and communities who wish to mark Pride Month in language that is both faithful and affirming.
The resource is anchored by two texts of particular importance: the CAI Prayer and the CAI Hymn. Together, they express something of CAI’s liturgical heart, calling us to relationship, bridge-building, love of neighbour, and the generous breadth of divine mercy that refuses every attempt to narrow God’s welcome.
CAI’s own phrase, “Open hearts for an open Church,” gives simple and generous expression to that calling. This booklet has been prepared in that spirit.
The booklet is available for download from our website here or by scanning the QR code:
We hope these resources will open hearts, deepen faith, honour LGBTQIA+ lives, and widen the welcome of the Church.
