WHAT IS THE LITURGICAL PRESS THINKING???

I got the Spring 2010 catalog from The Liturgical Press in my mailbox yesterday and the front cover is featuring a book called Uncommon Gratitude, written by - get this - Rowan Williams (Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury) and Joan Chittister (Benedictine Nun and borderline Poncho Lady of National Catholic Distorter and other infamies).

This doesn't sound like the direction that LitPress would normally follow, but you'll never know, I guess.

Peace,

Well, the two did speak together in a conference at Trinity Church, Wall Street, some years ago, so the pairing isn't without precedent.

Trinity on Wall Street - Episcopal church, right? But why would a Catholic publisher that's always struck me as orthodox publish (or at least sell) material by these two birds?

Um, maybe they have something interesting to say that's worth reading and thinking about, and possibly disagreeing with?
