\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Bread and Silence\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is an extended meditation on the Eucharist that emphasizes the priesthood of our baptism. The process takes from three to five hours, depending on the number of participants. This is an opportunity to go deeply into the heart of Christianity; the rite draws on the most ancient Christian traditions. There is nothing else like it available in the church, and many people have found it to be a life-changing experience.<\/div>\n

Ross Compares the Church to the Gospel<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n

Seabury Press has just republished Ross\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Pillars of Flame: Power, Priesthood, and Spiritual Maturity. The Archbishop of Canterbury recommends the book as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153a passionate and searching book which unsparingly sets the Gospel in judgment over the popular Christian idolatries of our time.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\n

The National Catholic Reporter comments, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The questions the author raises come from scriptural and patristic thought.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\n

In the foreword, Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu says, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Maggie Ross argues cogently and persuasively that we should provide the world with the paradigm of the self-emptying leadership of Christ \u00e2\u20ac\u201c not self-serving, not self-aggrandizing, but poured out in selfless service of others.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

According to Seabury Press, Maggie Ross \u00e2\u20ac\u0153…minces no words in her critique of the contemporary Church, and goes on to propose changes so sweeping and fundamental that we sense what a truly Christian Church would be.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
