Chasing St Francis of Assisi

 

St Francis of Assisi is arguably the most well-known and beloved saint in history. How might this “fool for God” help us understand what it means to advance the love of God into the world today? What can he teach us about caring for creation, radically identifying with the poor, being peacemakers, re-imagining Church, and embracing simpler lives?

Ian Morgan Cron is an author, speaker, Episcopal priest, psychotherapist and retreat guide. He is the author of Chasing Francis: A pilgrim’s tale and Jesus, my Father, the CIA, and me: A memoir…of sorts, which was chosen as a featured title in the prestigious Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers program.
