Reflection: Symbols and liturgy in worship

"'My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,
He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty." Luke 1 v46-55

The Gospels tell us that God cares deeply for those the world sees as of low worth- children, the poor, the hurting. Do our churches put less-priviledged people first?

This might mean recognising that special events like Mothering Sunday can be hard for those who have recently lost parents, or who are unable to become parents, and making sure we give warning when these topics will be covered and not blaming people for avoiding them, or giving extra support. It might mean using a variety of different versions of the liturgy so that people can find a way of relating to God that suits them.

What in your regular worship might be difficult for someone who has experienced abuse? What changes might you suggest to help others feel able to be involved in worship?
