Reading this slowly, so as to take in the observations on everyday life as holy without it being a firehouse. Mother Tish has some deep understandings of how all of life can be considered holy. Even, maybe especially, the "boring" everyday things.

As a progressive Christian, both/and Episcopalian (the actual Anglican Communion church in the USA)/United Methodist in an affirming parish of both, I'm aware of the Rev. Tish Harrison Warren being from a non-affirming breakaway Anglican denomination. But I'm also aware that her faith journey started in the very gender-rigid, non-women-ordaining, fundamentalist, say-the-prayer-or-burn-in-hell, Southern Baptist Church. So I see her being in the ACNA with its (somewhat) openness to non-rigid interpretations, as being perhaps as far as she could follow the Spirit at this time. And I've found her writing, both in this book and in her NY Times column, to be inspiring and helpful on my own often screwy faith walk.
