Book Summary
Prayer has been described as a long, loving look at the Real; and in that sentiment here is a prayerful book. Sometimes it is difficult to look honestly at what we most love - to see clearly in the presence of the Real Holy One, because God is both sustainer and challenger. Churchianity Lite: An Insider's Loving Look reflects on some of the "sacred cows" of the present church that impede an authentic, prayerful relationship with Christ. This book is a serious but not solemn effort to take a long, loving and somewhat challenging look at the beloved institution where Christians worship God. Churchianity Lite offers food for reflective thought and prayer in meditative bites of poetry.
Author Profile
DOUGLAS VEST is a priest in the Episcopal Church, and formerly a research physicist. His pastoral experience has been varied and rich, including eight years as chaplain to fellow clergy and seminarians in southern California and currently as a spiritual director and retreat leader. He and his wife, Norvene, venture periodically from their present home in Green Valley, Arizona, to lead pilgrimages to Benedictine and Celtic sites in Europe. For more than a half century, nature has been his valued mentor in a relationship expressed in hobbies of hiking, gardening, and woodcarving. Among a range of publications, Churchianity Lite is his fourth book of poetry.
