Happy New Year from Proost! |
 Happy new year from Proost! We are excited because the new web site we have been working on will go live this year. It's been 4 years since our relaunch so we figured it was time for an improvement. Give us another month and we should be ready!
This year's first release is something a bit unlike anything we've had to date and feels a good way to kick off the year. Explorations is a beat poem/prayer that is an outpouring to God, a stream of consciousness even. Here's how Ned describes it -
The stream of consciousness
style of writing helps me to journey along the many trains of thought, to detour and find my way around the network of my inner life. It makes the act of writing a process of discovery and, in reading it, you’re invited to journey with me and, as much as we can in the static product, we discover together. This product has organically grown itself rather than being preplanned and thought through.
It feels a great way to start the year and a good piece to use in lent. Ned is a member of Rough Edge in Durham who also produced Beat Eucharist.
 Urban Expression Daily Liturgy
Urban Expression is an urban mission agency that recruits, equips, deploys, and networks self-financing teams pioneering creative and relevant expressions of the Christian church in undre reached areas of the inner city.
This collection of liturgy and prayer is based around the core values and commitments of urban expression. It is inspiringa nd relevant whether or not you are connected with urban expression. It provides a month's worth of prayers, readings and exercis
 Jazz Eucharist, or to give it its full title - For I am come home again, but there is no one to kill the calf or pay the musick - is a joyous new EP from James Cave and Ewan King, produced by Mason Neely (Lambchop, Cerys Matthews, Martyn Joseph). Alternative rock with choral elements, in the vein of Sufjan Stevens, Flaming Lips and David Axelrod. Inspiring music for worship - or just for listening.
Cave & King, who met when studying literature at university, come from quite different places: Cave's first "band" had been a cathedral choir, King was raised among the Bedfordshire Strict Baptists. Their collaboration is all about finding ways to marry traditions like those. Their live performances have already drawn acclaim and inspired worshippers at venues including Greenbelt, London's Union Chapel, and the Baptist Union General Assembly.
 Night Service Pocket Liturgies by Jen Ryder and mark Newitt
This collection of prayers and liturgies have come out of the Night Service at St Marks in Broomhill and Broomhall in Sheffield. It has a blend of contemplation, creative participation and an emphasis on social justice and inclusion. This is the latest in the pocket liturgy series which celebrates and holds up examples of liturgy being written out of the life of a community rather than a liturgical committee situated on high.
