Another Scroll | Defiant Readings for Lectionary Year C (Brooks)

 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."
