Jane Doull, a writer, adult educator, and spiritual seeker, has been leading worship mostly within rural prairie and Maritime churches for almost four decades. She lives in the small coastal resort town of St Andrews, New Brunswick, with her two cats. Her passions include creation, languages, literature, music, art, justice-seeking, theology, and good conversation.

Jane says, “I started writing my own prayers when printed resources did not say what I wanted said. I try to write simply, without abstract theological language. I try to open safe space for various life situations and spiritual paths. I try to write from an expansive, creation-centred, justice-seeking perspective. Our words always fall short of expressing the Divine, and so I vary my language and imagery, to allow various points of connection with Divine Presence.

I write always for contexts and communities, and so I encourage you to adapt these prayers for yourself or for your spiritual community, as long as you continue to credit my work.”
