Join Fuller Texas and David Taylor for a conversation about his book, Prayers for the Pilgrimage: A Book of Collects for All of Life.

On Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at 7:00 pm (CT) , professor, theologian, and priest, David Taylor will be on campus at Fuller Texas to celebrate his most recent book, Prayers for the Pilgrimage: A Book of Collects for All of Life. His book includes a wide range of prayers:

For “Those Who Weary of Doing Justice”
For “A Mid-Life Crisis”
For “Those Who Struggle with Mental Health”
For “Janitors & Cleaners”
For “Going on Vacation”
For “Those Who Spiritually Wander”
For “Changing a Diaper in the Middle of the Night”
For “Grace Between Fellow Believers Across Political Lines”
For “Waking Up on the Wrong Side of the Bed.”
The conversation with will be hosted by Collin Cornell, professor of Bible and Mission. The discussion will explore ways in which an ancient form of prayer, the “Collect,” offers a unique opportunity to shape our individual and communal lives before God in prayer. Much like the poetry of the psalms, this form of written prayer involves a dense mix of language and imagery that, at best, enables us to say exactly what needs saying to God–and perhaps also what needs saying continually to God.

The first 25 registrants will receive a free copy of the book at the event! David Taylor will be available for book signings prior to the program.

Parking is free and adjacent to the Fuller Texas campus. Light refreshments will be provided.
