Episcopal Church Foundation Vestry Papers - for leading congregations

Episcopal Church Foundation (ECF) Fellows, the Rev. Callie Swanlund and the Rev. Elizabeth Riley, discuss their recently published books: "From Weary to Wholehearted" and "Rage Prayers". In a post-pandemic world marked by political uncertainty, climate crisis, and church decline, clergy and lay Episcopalians feel overwhelmed and anxious.

Often, spirituality is misused to suppress genuine emotions, hindering our ability to support those in need. This discussion explores a spirituality that embraces the whole heart – joy and rage alike – equipping us to support our communities with compassion and justice.
