"Ellen Prewitt takes found and abandoned objects and turns them into crosses. In this loving, step-by-step invitation to join her, she turns her words of explanations into an experience of worship. The making of crosses with their 'discarded bits of brokenness' become a physical way to offer our broken selves to the God who loves, redeems, and repairs us." -- Sybil MacBeth, author of Praying in Color: Drawing a New Path to God
Come and discover how this new spiritual practice -- making crosses -- can deepen a life lived for Christ. As she says, "To make a cross is to pray in a new way, but it's not as simple as old-fashioned petitionary prayer; making crosses is a way for God to pray through you."
The practice of making a cross takes you beyond analytic thinking, and offers a way of prayer where understanding comes from doing. Working with the most complex symbol of Christianity -- the cross -- the pray-er learns to co-create with God in Concrete and tangible ways, and discovers the meaning of faith.
Ellen Morris Prewitt is an award-winning writer who turned to making crosses after the tragedy of 9/11. Her writings have appeared in journals, such as Image, River Teeth, and The Rambler. She lives in Memphis, TN, where, in addition to making crosses, she facilitates a writing group0p of men and women who live on the streets.
