Produktbeschreibung
Ben Cabot, a millennial Boston lawyer in the midst of a personal crisis, is deployed to Montreal for eighteen months, where he chances on the Bishop of the Anglican Church. Mired in a multimillion-dollar project to build a metro stop and shopping mall underneath the cathedral, the Bishop asks Cabot to review his legal rights to stop a plan he adamantly opposes. Unwittingly drawn into the world of the church, Cabot asks the Bishop about an outdoor community he has seen after dark in the streets of Old Montreal. So prompts Cabot's first encounter with its enigmatic cleric, Luke Hale. The renegade priest, and once apprentice to a shaman, inspires Cabot to embark on a spiritual journey through the privileged life he is living. But when a young, charismatic American rector becomes Dean of the cathedral, money and greed jeopardize Hale's community, Cathedral in the Night. On the journey, Cabot comes to question the church's commitment to the poor, and to confront the loss of his country's moral compass in an increasingly bankrupt time.

Autorenporträt
Christopher Carlisle is an Episcopal priest who takes 'heretic' literally: from the original Greek, 'hairetikos' meaning someone who is 'able to choose.' As one who never liked going to church, and who loves the secular world, his writing explores the romantic affair between God and humankind. Perpetually at odds with the hierarchy, he was turned out onto the street, where he created two outdoor communities in the renegade spirit of Jesus. Amid street lights and burbling Harley-Davidsons, Carlisle launched Cathedral in the Night, an outdoor gathering of the homed and homeless around community, prayers, and a meal. So inspired his first novel, For Theirs Is the Kingdom, suggesting a radical reimagination of the institutional church. Carlisle earned his undergraduate degree from Columbia University, and graduate theological degrees from Harvard and Yale. A regular commentator on New England Public Radio, he is married with four children and lives in western Massachusetts.
