I’ve gone from being a Roman Catholic in the South to being an Anglo Catholic (read Episcopalian) and Walker Percy has been with me every step. Ironically, it was exposure to Benedictine spirituality while I was Roman Catholic that led me to the Episcopal Church, where its influence is conspicuous, and comforting. It draws me to St Joseph’s, where I would get to see “the grave.”

I read Walker Percy avidly for several years. He tells the story of the psychology of being Catholic in the South. Pat Conroy tells the story of the sociology of being Catholic in the South. Both are singular experiences and I understand why you’ve felt compelled to set up this blog.

All very vague, but thanks.
