A Search for There

<p>In 1953 Stephen Kennedy began his study of the priesthood. In 1960 he was sent to Germany to study theology; next he travelled to Windsor Canada for additional study and the honing of his grasp of German. From 1964 to April of 1966 Kennedy was in a German-speaking parish in Toronto Ontario followed by a short stint in a parish in Quebec City. Then came the biggest decision of Kennedy's life ...</p> <p>After years of careful study Stephen Kennedy left the Roman Catholic priesthood and turned his back on organized religion forever. Kennedy no longer wanted to be identi���ed with any form of organized religion whether Eastern or Western. In fact Kennedy saw leaving organized religion as a departure from Western culture in general-and he has been removed from it ever since.</p> <p><i>A Search for There</i> is his enlightened autobiography conveyed via narrative story and poetry-the words of a man who has gone the distance through education to a personal understanding. Kennedy's journey led him down a path of inner peace and inner freedom. He will never return to his Christian roots because for Kennedy he has found something better: he has discovered his own identity and a meaning of life.</p>
