Leaving church : a memoir of faith

Notes: "[By] Barbara Brown Taylor".; "First HarperCollins Paperback Edition published in 2007". -- verso of t.-p.; Includes bibliographical references (p. [235]).; "Because I am looking at the Special Events page of my calendar, I know that I was ordained in the Episcopal Church twenty years ago last May. .... The truth is that while I have never felt more engaged in what I was ordained to do, few of my initial expectations have been met. .... These days I earn my living teaching school, not leading worship .... This is not the life I planned or the life I recommend to others. But it is the life that has turned out to be mine, and the central revelation in it for me -- that the call to serve God is first and last the call to be fully human -- seems important enough to witness to on paper. This book is my attempt to do that." -- Intro.; Contents: Introduction -- Finding -- Losing -- Keeping -- Acknowledgements -- Recommended Reading -- Reader's Guide.
