Rhythm & Fire: Experiencing the Holy in Community and Solitude, edited by Jerry Haas and Cynthia Langston Kirk
This book just recently arrived here in the mail because of my membership with FUMSDRL... and what a wonderful surprise it is! (One of the editors, Jerry Haas, has been instrumental in the beginnings of our Fellowship.)
It is a delightful collection, through poetry and prose, of powerful ways people have experienced God's transforming Presence in and through the Academy for Spiritual Formation. Each of these contributions is a unique and powerful expression of an individual's experience of the Holy.
For those who have experienced the depth of community in the Academy for Spiritual Formation, this is like a homecoming (for all the contributors have participated in or served as faculty for one or more of the Two Year Academies.) For those who are not familiar with "the Academy", this book is a wonderful invitation to move closer and feel some of the warmth for the soul in this flaming movement of Holy Hospitality.
