In this intriguing spiritual memoir, The Maeve Chronicles author Elizabeth Cunningham traces her dynamic faith journey and its relationship to her writing.
As the daughter of an Episcopal priest, author Elizabeth Cunningham was born into community, sacred story, and the mysteries of prayer. For her, "If a writer is one who writes, then a 'prayer' is one who prays." As such, her praying is dynamic, a dance between many opposites-active vs. contemplative, community vs. individual, human vs. wild-and Cunningham sees the divine as both incarnate and transcendent, an intimate beloved and a vast mystery. When she prays, Cunningham is both audacious and reverent, asking tough questions of God-raging, listening intently, and dancing and singing ecstatically. Her storyteller's imagination opens a path from the known to the unknowable, from despair to wonder.
In this nonfiction debut, Cunningham recounts both her lifelong spiritual quest and her ongoing spiritual questions. Her journey takes her from her childhood church, with its ornate liturgy, to the silence of Quaker meeting; from her ordination as an interfaith minister to an eclectic, earth-centered community where she served as priestess before becoming a hermit, of sorts, making a church of her own backyard.
Candid and passionate, Cunningham's memoir invites readers of all faiths-and doubts!-to explore what it means to live life as a prayer in the beautiful, imperiled world we share.
