First Flight Feathers
The Best of Worship Live
About this book
For more than 20 years, Worship Live drew together the best of new writing for worship. Many poets, musicians, hymnwriters and liturgists whose work would become well known first published in its pages. Worship Live honoured and nourished the many crafts involved in writing effective resources for worship, honing skills and sharpening tools, as we have worked with worship makers over the years. But the editors have also, to their great delight, given first flight to many who emerged newly fledged, feeling the wind of the Spirit under their wings, but tentative in trusting to their new plumage.
First Flight Feathers is a celebration of Worship Live. It showcases a vibrant collection of items by writers and musicians grow and shows how they can develop into a community.
