Loving Life on the Margins - Suzanne Shanley Belote
- the story of the Agape community
In Loving Life on the Margins: the Story of the Agape Community, the authors say they attempt to do what Jesus asked: “Interpret the present time” (Luke 12:56) through the lens of the past. The authors hope the reader of this book, will find in the Agape story something worthy of interpretation as a commentary on the lineage and future of small faith communities like ours.
Over the years, the authors have been drawn to the image of God as the Divine Feminine, that God’s heart and ungraspable power is Mother as well as Father. The authors have come to believe that the womb-love of God gives birth to voices joined in prayer and song, souls born into longing and pain, struggling to be reflections of what is possible in short time on this imperiled, glorious planet.
