a christian?

after finding several references to God, Jesus and Biblical references in her books, i decided to try and find out what denomination madeleine l'engle was really. because massed in with God and his Son was references to several leaders of different "faiths". this is what i found.

on her website, she has a book called Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art. there was a link to her church where she served as librarian and something else for thirty years. here is a brief statement of "faith."

Greetings from this great Cathedral in the light-filled City of New York. We endeavor to be a beacon of hope and light, built as a Cathedral for all people. We welcome persons of all faiths, cultures and races. The dream that inspired the construction of The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine was that it would be a roof under which all sorts and conditions of folk would feel safe as we discuss the issues of our time. Together we can make that kind of difference. May our worship, learning more about God, and service to others keep the Star burning brightly for you and those you love!

The Very Reverend Dr. James A. Kowalski, Dean
