Autorenporträt
Blayney Colmore, was an Episcopal priest for 30 years--from the tumultuous '60s into the new millennium. He served at parishes across the country, had two marriages, three children, and two step-children. He was active in protests against racism, Vietnam and the Iraq wars, and on an odyssey in pursuit of justice and peace. From the hope of the Great Society, women's empowerment, compassionate welfare, to a minority seeking to dismantle our democratic experiment, he's been here long enough to know passionate, thoughtful energy can transform seeming hopelessness into new life.
