Prayers of Via de Cristo: Calls to Worship for Progressive Christians offers a collection of 125 service prayers created specifically for an informal and introspective Progressive Christian congregation. Comfortable with contemporary situation, conversation, and scholarship, these reflective prayers focus on a wide range of themes and perspectives. The four subsections include All About Us (the wonder of the Creation about us, and our place within it), Inner Workings (the ponderings and challenges of the inner self), Seasons (observances in church and secular calendars), and Special Circumstances (less common situations such as congregational loss, leadership transition, difficult choices, and disaster). Though these prayers were prepared as congregational calls to worship, they have also been found useful by some in other thoughtful and devotional settings. It is the author's fond hope that this collection, now made available at their quiet insistence, will similarly bless - and perhaps even inspire - a great many more hands, and gatherings, into which these words find their way.

James (Jim) Armstrong is a lifelong lay churchman (to be distinguished from other authors, both cleric and academic, who share this name). A teacher of adults, musician, technoid, and liturgy contributor in church life, he also retired as Senior Engineering Fellow from a productive career in the technology development world. By nature a curious balance between creative and analytic, the combination served him well in the technology domain. But that same balance also called him into a continuing journey of evolving faith and understanding, drawn into the equally beautiful background of the still-unfolding revelations of the stars and the stones of Creation itself. This appreciation clearly infuses his writings, some of which are gathered for the first time in print as Prayers of Via de Cristo: Calls to Worship for Progressive Christians. Jim is happily married, living and writing in the warmth and color of the Desert Southwest.
