Margaret D. McGee
"What a gift Margaret McGee is to St.Paul's! Her preaching and teaching has deepened and stretched many spiritual journeys in this community. Margaret's presentations are profoundly honest, penetrating, unfailingly sound, and filled with her insight into the funniness and yearning of us all." -- The Reverend Elizabeth A. Bloch, Rector, St. Paul's Episcopal Parish, Port Townsend "Margaret McGee is articulate, wise, and often funny. She tells the Story of God's passionate love for humankind in all of her work with a grace and originality that we don't often encounter." -- The Very Reverend William F. Maxwell From workshop and program participants: "It was a challenge for me to experience the moments of silence ... a first step to contemplative prayer, a new thing for me, the concept to listen and not just 'talk' to God in prayer, but to listen. I got better at it as you led us through." "[This Lenten program] has been something I look forward to, partly because it's surprising and unexpected.... I have been particularly surprised at how you have melded our secular and church lives and interests." "Spiritual and mystical in the finest sense of both words." "I thought writing haiku in response to scripture would restrict my expression. But my haiku kept changing, almost as if it had a life of its own. Boy, is haiku neat." "Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being willing to spend the weekend with us and for sharing your journey with us. I will be waiting for your next book." "This is fun!" |
