on the Sacred and the Secular

Category:
Religion / Pastoral Ministry
"God forbid that one sits at a desk and lets one's
mind wander and wonder; that one takes seriously what William James
called booming, buzzing confusion; that one learns from what one has
sensed, experienced, remembered; that one allows the head to settle
into train of thought, put it down on paper - then, lo, discovers what
seems significant to oneself... But that is what follows in this book
- a mind's discursive, even rambling expository efforts to comprehend
various aspects of a late twentieth-century American life as it has
been lived by a doctor, a teacher, a husband, a father, and not least,
a citizen who has had good reason to worry about the country he loves."
