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.

CD

“Anita Kruse writes from the heart…..her songs are melodic, peaceful and elegant.  With each song she makes our world wider and more habitable.  As her lyrics find a home within us, they reflect our own inner voices.  She addresses the joys as well as the sorrows of life, the shadow and the light.  Our personal stories take new shape as the music restores what we have lost….  Her haunting melodies linger in our minds and her wonderful words open our hearts….You will be moved and you will be changed.  Just open your heart.”
