How to Properly Attribute a Litany

THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES ONLY APPLY TO INDIVIDUALS AND INDIVIDUAL CHURCHES OR NON-PROFITS WHO PLAN TO USE MY WORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF COMMUNAL PRAYER. If you are a large national organization, a for-profit organization, a church conglomerate, diocese, or any organization with a board or a budget, you must email me directly to obtain permission to use my work. See the heading “Use a Litany” above for detailed guidelines on this.

Attribution is a tricky subject. The internet makes it even more complicated. And I've had a few instances where I've encountered my litanies not being attributed correctly. So today I'm trying to make attribution rules clear. And I'm grateful to the folks who've asked for clarity on this.

I want people to pray good prayers. I want love to flow in this world, and for people to connect to the Divine, and for our collective consciousness to be raised. For these reasons I allow my litanies to be used by church congregations and other non-profit groups, so long as my name and website are clearly referenced.

If you're using a litany of mine, whether it’s one that is freely available on the internet or via subscription on Patreon, please use this attribution tag alongside the title of the litany, anywhere a litany is projected or printed:

You may NOT republish my work in a digital resource such as a digital worship guide, pdf, or online document unless you contact me and I give you express written consent.

Please do not post or reproduce my litanies in their entirety on social media. A little snippet or quote is fine (even helpful in terms of getting the word out) as long as it's linking back to my website. It's also helpful if you share links to specific litanies on my website on social media. But please, don't post a photo of a printout or a screenshot of an entire litany. Driving traffic to my website helps me get the word out about my work, and about my book.

Thanks. I love you and I'm grateful for you.
