Additional information
by Mary Ann Downey (Author)
In this journal of faith, Mary Ann Downey offers spiritual seekers, people of faith and all who question faith, her experiments with doubt and belief.
In 29 essays, some of which have been published in Friends Journal, she describes lessons from her family and her life of service as a social worker, teacher, conference leader, and spiritual guide.
"In one of the beautiful essays in this book, Mary Ann Downey reflects on the Atlanta Friends Meeting, "I also sometimes picture our meeting as a giant quilt in which we offer the bits and scraps of who we are. Working together, we form patterns-beautiful designs that are stronger and more unique because of their spiritual binding. To know Mary Ann Downey is to witness a life being mindfully, prayerfully pieced together." --From the Forward by Christina Repoley, Mdiv, Founder of Quaker Voluntary Service, Vice President of Program Forum for Theological Exploration.
