More DescriptionThis book is the story of Father Bill, The Traveling Priest. How did hischanges come about? How did Bill maintain his deep connection to thechurch itself when he took on a second career of consciousness teacherin the midst of the wild days of the nineteen-seventies and eighties whenso many wonderful young men were lost to the church during those yearsof powerful change in the world? This book gives a picture of one man'sjourney.Father Bill is still very much a priest but his is really a different kind ofpriesthood than anything we have every seen. We asked him to write thisbook because it would have been sad to have his particular story lost. Weeach have our stories and it is these stories that are possibly the greatestgifts that we can pass on to others. They are the stuff of life and each isunique and irreplaceable.Fr. Bill has been called a "soul shaker" and a "world changer"-he issomeone who can bring to others a new way of looking at life withoutlosing the priceless treasures of tradition. Instead of separating himselffrom his church and his calling, Bill simply learned to sing his own songwithin the context of the church and what a song it has been.
