A Love Quilt: Later Faith Patches

A Love Quilt records a spirituality of aging, where many paths and truths are understood to converge. This engaging spiritual memoir quilts together 68 pieces of Trish McBride's writing from the last decade. The overall theme is that the meaning and purpose of human life is learning to love - ourselves, others, earth, cosmos, and Holy Mystery, the one of so many names. Trish believes we are all on a spiritual journey, whether or not we call it that.

Her efforts to live out her post-denominational Christianity are documented in her pieces on social justice, mental health, interfaith and racial relationships, prayer, non-orthodox theologies on forgiveness and same sex marriage, critiques of church practices, metaphor as the viable alternative to biblical literalism, and community - including her Covid-19 lock-down diary. The book also includes reflections on her travels near and far.
