Anne Dillard Quotes

The New Episcopalian And Catholic Liturgies Include A Segment Called "passing The Peace." Many Things Can Go Wrong Here. I Know Of One Congregation In New York Which Fired Its Priest Because He Insisted On Their Passing The Peace- Which Involves Nothing More Than Shaking Hands With Your Neighbors In The Pew. The Men And Women Of This Small Congregation Had Limits To Their Endurance; Passing The Peace Was Beyond Their Limits. They Could Not Endure Shaking Hands With People To Whom They Bore Lifelong Grudges. They Fired The Priest And Found A New One Sympathetic To Their Needs" Anne Dillard- Teaching A Stone To Talk- An Expedition To The Pole
