Love is the Way: Holding on to Hope in Troubling Times
By Bishop Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church
Let 2021 begin with a season of revival and renewal within you by joining your St. James’ community in reading Bishop Curry’s new book, Love is the Way. In his book, Bishop Curry offers a message of tenacious hope in the redemptive power of love and offers a roadmap for living the way of love, illuminated with stories from his own life’s journey. Through the prism of his faith, ancestry, and personal journey, Love Is the Way shows us how we have come this far by faith, and it shines a light the long way that lies ahead of us in addressing the deep divisions in the world today.
Each week as we read, we will post reflections to spur you on in your own reading and reflection.
