Is it possible to find values in all religions and in all people? 1 in 5 Americans – about 46 million people – are among the growing ranks of those who don’t identify with any religion. From the pulpit to the many corners of the world, Richard Leonard shares his liberal approach to religion and to life in his new book Ports of Call.
\n\u201cThis world is a vaster place than any of us can imagine, with tremendous variations of culture and human experience,\u201d\u009d says Leonard. \u201cYet the human community is essentially one, physically, and tied into the interdependent but fragile web that sustains all life.\u201d\u009d
Leonard has spent sixty years of ministry and is a minister of the All Souls Church of New York. In Ports of Call, Leonard shares with his audience stories, sermons and events from various experiences in his life. His ministry has included development of schools and camps, civil rights as well as music.
\n\u201cMy liberal approach to religion and to life, seeing values in all religions and in all people, will raise the hackles of those who believe there can only be one way of looking at things,\u201d\u009d says Leonard.
\nThis is an exquisite collection of sermons and other writings that not only instills wisdom into it\u2019s readers, but also delivers an inside look to the life of a clergyman and how it is not much different than everyone else\u2019s. Leonard hopes that his writings will convey knowledge, compassion and good humor to those that read this book.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
