“Very little time in a priest‘s life is spent on ‘holy‘ things. Most of it is conflict management and resolution.”
Or, as a woman priest said in a sermon on ordination, “There are times when the church is like a swimming pool: all the noise comes from the shallow end.”
😂🤣😭
My church is in the middle of a pastoral transition, and I can‘t tell you how true this is right now. I texted this pic to my former pastor and her response was “Spot on!”
pickI bought this faded copy of Practicing Resurrection from the outdoor shelves at Bart‘s Books in Ojai either on my honeymoon or a year later on our first anniversary—nearly 10 years ago. It was fascinating to read it now and see connections that have emerged in the intervening years that made it far more meaningful now than it would have been if I‘d read it back when I originally bought it. It‘s a quiet reflective book, focusing on Gallagher‘s ⤵️

pickAfter reading this book, I feel blessed, refreshed, well taught and well prepared to serve and enjoy. This book is filled with theology that is sound and deep, while remaining very readable and accessible.
pickAmazing memoir!! This bad boy to priest story kept me turning the pages!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️
A solid book connecting a much deeper meaning to your vocation.
I felt a few points were a bit of a stretch.
Overall it provides a spiritual purpose behind jobs, careers, and callings.
