Richer Fare for the Christian People : Reflections
by Gail Ramshaw
On This Page
Description
Gleaned from a host of church sources, early and modern, the selections that comprise Richer Fare offer classic insights into the themes of the Sunday scriptures for spiritual reading, meditation, reflection, and prayer. From a second-century homily, Address to Diognetus, to a text by political activist Dorothy Day, this anthology envisions a Christian spiritual life that encompasses both time and regions. Homilists and teachers will find the structure that follows the three-year cycle of show more readings of the Roman Catholic, Episcopal, and Lutheran lectionaries most practical. These selections are particularly appealing, however, because they reach out to all Christians, not just those familiar with the liturgical calendar. show lessTags
