In this project I will research, edit, write, and produce a 200 page volume on the spirituality of William Stringfellow (1929-1985) to be published in the Orbis Modern Spiritual Masters series. What Stringfellow wrote as a lawyer theologian, from the edge of the Episcopal Church, the ecumenical movement, the freedom struggle, and the US war resistance, remains astonishingly prescient and pertinent. A spiritual resource in our own time of imperial collapse. The deep intent of this book to make what is readily compelling, accessible to the New Monastics and other communitarian radicals of the church emergent. I intend a book that will fit in back pack or back pocket, dog-eared by the generation who is shaping the best of what’s next. While certain themes maybe guessed (living humanly, spirituality of place, resurrection ethics, politics of discernment, empire and community) the actual design of the book will emerge in the course of the project. Broadly, it will include a 60-page spiritual biography, a thematic anthology of spiritual writing, and a Stringfellonian lexicon of terms and his provocative definitions. This to be accomplished in two full months of release and away time from my work as a pastor in postindustrial Detroit.
