Popular Answered Questions

I am an Episcopal priest who has discovered your book, The Grassroots Church." I am struck by how prophetic it was back in the day...and now, fast forward to today, and I find it very applicable to my focus on leadership and the "church." Do you correspond with spiritual leaders in the trenches? Or, have you moved on to bigger and brighter things? I am working on a manifesto of my own, these days.

I have consistently reached out to my alma mater Union Seminary and my efforts have been literally without a single answer. I have a following on Twitter and speak my mind there. https://twitter.com/stephencrose You can link to my Kindle site from there. GRC makes perfect sense now and can in fact be done anywhere. I have had a few nibbles over the years. But I am well beyond GRC theologically and on what I feel is the cutting edge. It will not make the establishment happy. Thanks for writing, S(less)

Windows on the Bible

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001IZZ7QS/...

I wrote this back in the ’90s as part of a collaboration that went South. It sat. I think it stands as a good lay person’s intro to the content and messages of the Bible. It is more middle of the road than representative of a particular viewpoint. In fact it has some interesting perspectives drawn from some equally interesting sources.

Stephen’s Quotes

Albert Schweitzer
“Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.”

Henry David Thoreau
“See how he cowers and sneaks, how vaguely all the day he fears, not being immortal nor divine, but the slave and prisoner of his own opinion of himself, a fame won by his own deeds. Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion.

What a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods
