“This book reminds us of the relational, even revolutionary aspect of prayer—of the Lord’s Prayer as a manifesto! Prayer is not primarily about centering; it is profoundly about entering. This understanding of prayer highlights participation in an existing and eternal ‘rhythm’ of communion with God, others, and creation.”—Fr. John Chryssavgis, executive director, Huffington Ecumenical Institute at Holy Cross School of Theology
“Enter into a conversation as spiritual as it is concrete, about what Jesus taught us to pray and hoped we’d become as we prayed. Tim Clayton creates space to stretch into new postures of understanding—and practice.”—Kelley Nikondeha, author, Jubilee Economics and The First Advent in Palestine
“A work of both sincere devotion and careful theology, The Lord’s Prayer is Manifesto shows how the act of prayer and the work of justice are inseparably woven together in Christian life and faith. This is an important book for our spiritual and political moment.”—Matthew Ichihashi Potts, Plummer Professor of Christian Morals, Harvard University
We have one prayer from Jesus—just one. For centuries, we've recited it, memorized it, taken comfort in its familiar cadence. But what if we've missed something hiding in plain sight?
For everyone who has ever sensed that the Prayer Jesus taught forms the heart of Jesus's teachings, cohering faith and justice, Clayton shows the sacred revolution we can pray, and live, and take with us to the streets.
Tim Clayton and his wife once dropped everything, moved to Maine, and began an ecumenical community around the nexus of Christian faith, ecology, and the poor. He is now lead pastor of Trinity North Shore in the Boston area, a parish with the mission of “connecting with God, community, and creation.”
