A Child Laughs, Prayers of Justice and Hope

The Rev. Maren Tirabassi, a pastor in the United Church of Christ, USA has been awarded a Vaughan Park Scholarship for October.

In A Child Laughs, Prayers of Justice and Hope, Maren and Maria Mankin, have brought together reflections from writers across the world who have prayed their way into justice and hope from personal perspectives.

‘A child’s laugh should be the butterfly wing, the ripple- maker, for all the world. There are many children crying – we hear them echoing from news media. It is time to pray the change of the world in children’s laughter.’

This book is a passionate, challenging, thoughtful and enriching creative resource for personal contemplation and prayer, for use with church groups and for inclusion in liturgies of hope, justice and peace.
