A Liturgical Reading
by Rev’d Jon Swales MBE
This liturgical resource is a prayerful journey through the ancient story — a story that begins in a garden, trembles through the pain of empire and exile, and bursts forth in resurrection light.
From Eden to the Empty Tomb invites individuals and communities to immerse themselves in the sacred drama of Scripture. Each act holds space for lament and longing, presence and promise, tracing the holy thread of God’s redemptive movement through time. With poetic resonance and theological depth, these liturgies are designed for those seeking to live faithfully in a fractured world — a world of ecological breakdown, injustice, and deep ache.
Rooted in the gospel of the Kingdom and inspired by the rhythms of sacred storytelling, this liturgy calls us to remember who we are, whose we are, and what we are for.
Use it in gathered worship, in small communities, or in the quiet stillness of personal devotion. Let it stir your imagination, awaken your longing, and renew your hope.
