Author Robert Ellsberg Discusses Saints and Others He’s Written About
|
In his virtual lecture at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 7, “Walking With the Saints: My Writing Life,” Ellsberg will reflect on his life and work as a “saint-watcher,” how this came to shape his own vocation and spiritual discipline, and what he hopes it might achieve. — an announcement from Fairfield University
From St. Francis to Dorothy Day, Robert Ellsberg’s many books on “saints, prophets, and witnesses” for our time — as well as his acclaimed daily “Blessed Among Us” column for Give Us This Day — have helped expand the conception of holiness and the meaning of saints. Robert Ellsberg is the long-time editor-in-chief and publisher of Orbis Books. He holds a master’s degree in theology from Harvard Divinity School.
