Today is All Saints Day…
Here is a lovely poem for this day: Saints’ Logic by Linda Gregerson
Also in honor of All Saints Day,
Here are our recent playlists of books to read on St. Francis…
[ Version #1 -Chris Smith ] [ Version #2 (Remixed) – Trevor Thompson ]
And speaking of playlists, ERB editor Chris Smith had
a reflection on the playlist as an everyday way of doing theology
published on the ThinkChristian website yesterday…
“A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted. You should live several lives while reading it.”
– William Styron, who died on this day in 2006.
