    Sedona AZ (January 25, 2013) – Teri Bays, Sedona resident, liturgist and church musician, writer, actor, artist/designer is hosting a celebration of the release of her new book, “Through Stained Glass: The Priests of My Life.” The book signing party which will include readings of excerpts, poetry, music and refreshments will take place Tuesday, February 5, 4-7pm at The Fireside Room of Heartline Café, 1610 W. SR89A, Sedona.

    20130125_teribaysThe book is a true and intimate memoir about finding God in and out of the Catholic Church. Every chapter of Teri’s life is impacted by these celibate men who are task-masters, friends, confidants, teachers, love-interests and employers. Views of life and God are transformed as we experience priests through the eyes of a Catholic girl negotiating the sometimes murky waters of a changing church in a changing world. Sometimes light-hearted, sometimes troubling, but always honest, we see the author recognize the light of God that she is, shining because of, inspired by and sometimes despite the priests of her life.

    According to former priest, Charles Wells, “I was introduced to some wonderful, outrageous, stupid, loving, frightened, heroic and mentally ill priests. I fell deeply in love with the book….” The book is a timely personal reflection of life in a church that changed dramatically after Vatican II.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
