The Library has acquired twelve books in Mark Schweizer’s “liturgical mystery” series, Call Number FIC 808.83 Sch. Check out a book and join in the fun.
Thomas E. Breidenthal, Christian Households : The Sanctification of Nearness, Call Number 241.676 Bre 1997, 2004, is a book from Bishop Vono’s “bookshelf” list. The author, an Episcopal priest, attempts to make a purely theological argument which is broad enough to include non-traditional households, including gay unions. In this reviewer’s opinion, Breidenthal’s refusal to sanction contracts, that is human agreements based on mutuality and reciprocity, makes the notion of Christian households too restrictive to deal with the practical problems of contemporary families. Others may disagree.
The church library is open weekdays during office hours for parish members who wish to browse or check out books. The library is also open on Sunday after services. We especially encourage members to stop by at this time. Please defer to previously scheduled ministry meetings in the library, when necessary.
