A Pilgrimage of Churches

A PILGRIMAGE OF CHURCHES is one person's answer to the landscape of the Great Plains, flowing from Canada to the Coastal Plains of Texas, and the people who live there, who work the land, and who worship together in community on the Sabbath. These communities hold a rich heritage of faith and devotion that is an American story. The author's desire is to tell it with a Quaker simplicity and prayerful sincerity that honors his own family's legacy. The poetry draws from a rich literary, artistic, and liturgical language, which reveals people of faith, and an intimate connection with the land that flourishes still, caring for and cultivating the American plains and prairies to help feed a 21st century world.
