Every
Christian community is faced with the duty and the challenge of
providing opportunity for its members to be reconciled with God and
one another.Return to
the Father provides all the resources necessary for meeting
this challenge in the Christian secondary school community. The
eight fully worked-out Services of Reconciliation include specially
written and adapted plays from Scripture, integrated with
examinations of conscience, prayers and hymns. No detail is omitted
- there are even instructions on the layout and structure of the
order of service leaflet for each occasion.
These services are especially
suitable for Advent and Lent, but may be used at any time. titles
include: 'The Hairy Prophet', 'The Unforgiving Servant', 'Peter
disowns Jesus' and 'The Condemned Woman'.
Experience has shown that young
people readily relate to and enjoy these twenty minute
Reconciliation services, which have, over several years, been tried
and tested by the author in his own school.
