The Author

Betty Conrad Adam, an Episcopal priest, is resident Canon Theologian at Christ Church Cathedral, Houston, and spiritual director of the Magdalene Community. She holds a PhD in philosphy from Rice University and was a recipient of a Merrill Fellowship at the Harvard Divinity School.

The Book

The Magdalene Mystique retells the story of Mary Magdalene for our time. As the consummate “other” who is mislabelled and demonized, the Magdalene becomes an ancestor who can help us bridge our cultural and religious divisions. Her lost Gospel tells us how a more deeply connected consciousness can happen to all of us and how we can be lead into a “shared peace.”

The CD

The Magdalene Mystique: Songs From Within by Anita Kruse is a companion to the book, The Magdalene Mystique. The music that accompanies our services can be found on this CD along with voices from other religious traditions. You will find this music helpful for private devotion or for use in your community.

posted February 15th, 2007 at 5:03 pm by Betty

The Episcopal News Service (see www.episcopalchurch.org for Primates Convene: Windsor response leads agenda) has indicated that at the first session all participating bishops were present at the table. It is reported (see www.episcopalchurch.org for Primates engage in intense listenting” ) that intense listening characterized the first meeting and ‘patience, graciousness, care and respect.’ Although no decisions have been made, “there has been no talk of schism at the meeting at all,” said Archbishop Philip Aspinall of Australia.
