Speaking Aloud at Grace Church: Homilies from the World of Willa Cather

This book is devoted to homilies that the Rev. Dr. Charles A. Peek gave at Grace Church Red Cloud over the two decades spanning the turn of the 20th to the 21st Century. Dr. George Day first suggested the homilies be collected and Fr. Peek assembled the collection with gratitude for having been asked so often to preach at Grace Church and with warm memories of the many who responded so positively over those years. Where the homilies occurred at a Spring Conference they often emphasized particular Cather works being emphasized in the conference program. The scripture was usually drawn from the lessons assigned to a Sunday or Feast day near the time of the conference; where the scripture reference is not clear in the text the scriptures used are listed in a footnote.
