Hearts on Fire

Bok av Bill Lane Doulos
Dr. George Regas led the congregation of All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, California, for nearly three decades. The witness of this remarkable church has brought transformation to the lives of communities and individuals across the land. Hearts on Fire is the story of this amazing priest and his parish. With its rich tradition and cutting edge social ministry, All Saints is one of the premier parishes in the United States. The story of All Saints is especially relevant because it shines as a bright light across the bleak landscape of urban America. Where can we find a witness to the good news of personal and social redemption in the midst of the moral confusion and spiritual crisis of our age? This book will fill the reader with hope for the dawn of a new age of morality, justice, and faith. All Saints Church is still growing, looking forward to a new rector in the person of Ed Bacon, and eager to empower its members and transform its community. ""All Saints is the very best that Christianity has to offer. I have a great love for the church, for the people of All Saints, and for their generosity of spirit. They have helped me in my quest to find a loving connection with all of God's children and to develop a conscience that has no sectarian boundaries."" -- Rabbi Leonard I. Beerman, Founding rabbi of Leo Baeck Temple and All Saints' rabbi-in-residence ""All Saints is a congregation which acts, not just talks; a congregation which fights for what is right and good, not one which only discusses these issues."" --Tom Johnson, Former publisher, Los Angeles Times Bill Lane Doulos retired from the Union Station ministry (which still flourishes today under the leadership of Rabbi Marvin Gross) in 1990. Bill continues to pioneer new avenues of compassion, serving parish neighborhoods as a deacon of the Church of Our Saviour, San Gabriel. For the past twelve years he has been the director of Jubilee Homes, a set of four facilities that offer supportive housing to adult men and women in recovery from addiction.
