Amazon.com description: Product Description: Gifts in Open Hands was inspired by the bestselling Gifts of Many Cultures: Worship Resources for the Global Community, also by Tirabassi and Eddy (1995, United Church Press). This fresh, new edition, like the previous, contains a wealth of multicultural liturgies, prayers, affirmations, blessings, and poetry by people from the global community. These beautifully written pieces can be used in worship and celebration of sacraments, sacred seasons, and all other occasions in the life of the church. The inclusion of black-and-white images for reproduction in church bulletins is included again in this volume, and an important new feature is the arrangement of translations so that materials in other languages are available to English-speaking as well as bilingual worship planners. There is also a thorough appendix with additional graphics and musical resources.
