CHRISTIAN ANIMISM Format: Paperback

Come follow the Cosmic Christ on the path of the green priesthood, deep into the heart of a living web of Divine Creation. "Christian animism", for many, can suggest nothing more than crude syncretism, or a blasphemous oxymoron. In this book the author challenges that view, from his own experiences and reflections, and those of many who find themselves on the fringes of church and society. He also searches out the fertile places of his own Christian tradition, seeking to hear a Word of healing for our Earth, a Word of grace for the trees and the animals, and a Word of invitation back to the garden of Creation, our once and future home.

The Rev. Shawn Sanford Beck is a priest, and trainer-of-priests, in the Anglican Church of Canada. He lives with his family on an off-the-grid homestead in Saskatchewan, and is the founder of the Ecumenical Companions of Sophia.
