SUMMARY:Book Launch for Rewilding Prayer: God Beyond Gender\, Faith Beyond Formulas
DESCRIPTION:You are warmly invited to join Sally Douglas for the launch of Rewilding Prayer: God Beyond Gender\, Faith Beyond Formulas. \n  \n5pm Monday 1st December 2025 \nYuma Auditorium\, Centre for Theology and Ministry 29 College Crescent\, Parkville \nRSVP Wednesday 26 November. \n  \nRev Salesi Faupula\, Moderator of the Uniting Church in Australia\, Synod of Victoria and Tasmania\, together with Julie Perrin\, storyteller and writer\, will launch the book. Rewilding Prayer disrupts the idol of pretending that God is a man and upends the delusion that prayer is about wishful thinking\, vending machines\, or reciting words. With insight and honesty\, questions about what prayer is for\, what prayer does and does not do\, and what we can do when we cannot pray are explored. Exuding a gritty hope\, Douglas demonstrates that prayer is the call to the real. This book is for the curious\, the “spiritual not religious”\, the faithful\, the disenchanted\, and for those who thirst for more. \n  \nView the event flyer here \n  \nTo register\, click here \n  \n“There is deep pastoral and biblical wisdom in these honest\, unfussy prayers and reflections.” —Amy Plantinga Pauw\, Louisville Presbyterian Seminary. \n“Attuned to human experience\, and concerned with shaping language that is sensitive\, straightforward\, devout\, and daring.”—Pádraig Ó Tuama\, Host\, Poetry Unbound. \n“With passion and honesty\, she invites us to ‘live close to the fire’ of liberating divine grace.” —Steven Shakespeare\, Liverpool Hope University. \n“A gentle yet insistent call to rediscover prayer as wild encounter with the divine.” —Tim Nash\, Host\, Nomad Podcast. \n“Sally Douglas inspires us to pray with ‘guts and integrity amidst the chaos’ of everyday life.” —Seforosa Carroll\, United Theological College\, Charles Sturt University. \n“More than a book about prayer—Douglas has gifted us a challenge\, an invitation\, a treasury.” —Cathie Lambert\, Uniting College for Leadership and Theology.
