Order from janesimpson58@gmail.com 

A new liturgy to farewell a home has just been published, written by Christchurch-based Anglican historian and prize-winning poet, Dr Jane Simpson.First published in the Australian Journal of Liturgy, Jane is now publishing it as a service booklet, customised and licensed for each use. Originally a response to the Christchurch earthquakes, it also marks a variety of life transitions, including moving into a retirement village. The booklet is available directly from the author by email. A high-quality booklet for the householder to keep as a memento could be printed if there is interest.
