New book examines the religious lives of people without homes
From Religion News Service
The author of a new book on the faith and prayer lives of those experiencing homelessness says she was surprised by the gratitude she saw in her subjects.
Susan Dunlap, who has a PhD in practical theology and teaches at Duke Divinity School, volunteers at a homeless shelter hosting a prayer session three mornings a week. She says what she initially imagined as a sombre, quiet place to pray and lament quickly turned into a place filled with encouragement, prayers of gratitude and praise.
In this interview with Religion News Service, Dunlap shares some of the surprising and inspiring things she has learned from her time hosting the services, and what people can expect in the book, "Shelter Theology."
