Signs of Life: Worship for a Just and Loving People

A glimpse into the ideals and insights that have shaped one of the Episcopal Church’s most widely known parishes, St. Gregory of Nyssa in San Francisco.

Rick Fabian, well known as one of the founding priests of St. Gregory of Nyssa in San Francisco, writes his treatise in eleven parts on the significant signs of communal life: the welcoming table, authority (human and biblical), baptism, mystery, marriage, children, the spirit, reconciliation, the worship year, beauty, and hospitality. This revisionist approach to sacramental theology offers a glimpse into the depth of thought behind the praxis that has shaped one of the Episcopal Church’s most widely known parishes.
