1. Purpose of this site

This site exists to share worship resources, theology, music and related materials to support inclusive, justice-shaped faith in a range of settings. Everything is offered in good faith, for worship, reflection, learning and inspiration.

The content is not legal, financial, medical or professional advice. Please use your own judgement, and any relevant guidance from your church, organisation or profession, when using the material.

Unless otherwise stated, all content on this site is © Gary Hopkins and remains in copyright.

I’m glad when these resources are useful, and I want you to be able to use them freely in worship and other non-commercial settings. Please see the Using These Resources page for clear guidance on:

• How to report hymns and songs to CCLI
• When you need to contact me for permission, especially for anything paid or commercial

By using the site, you agree not to claim my work as your own, republish it elsewhere in full, or use it in commercial projects without permission.

I try to keep the information on this site accurate, up to date and useful. However:

• I can’t guarantee that everything will always be complete, current or error-free
• I may change, update or remove content at any time without notice
