A Sacred Invitation
You have been told to study the ancient texts.
Has no one ever given you permission to read – and to keep on
reading – until you find yourself between the pages?
To the Revised Common Lectionary schedule of readings for Year C, Amy G. S. A. Brooks adds another scroll of holy texts: gritty, fiercely loving, justice-minded poems that defy theological oppression. Another Scroll offers a poetic reflection on scripture for each Sunday and feast day, helping the texts to unfurl in courageous affirmation of the reader.
As Brooks notes and Another Scroll upholds: "Beloved, in case no one has told you: you are whole, you are holy, you are wholly loved."
About Amy
Amy G. S. A. Brooks is a fat, cisgender, queer, Australian-born immigrant to the United States who loves a good cup of hot tea and hates mornings. She is a minister, and the author of Another Scroll: Defiant Readings for Lectionary Year C. Most recently she has been busy writing her second book and providing pulpit supply for progressive congregations; both in person and in digital spaces.
Amy is deeply familiar with grief and trauma. She finds truth and meaning in the liminal spaces where humanity encounters the Divine. She claims kinship with her wife, Laurie, as well as their adult children, assorted members of their chosen family, and numerous pets.
