    Karen Wright Marsh on Mercy

    Karen Wright Marsh on Mercy

    Karen Wright Marsh is the author of Vintage Saints & Sinners. Narrating her own winding pilgrimage through faith, Karen Marsh reveals surprising lessons in everyday spirituality from these "saints"―folks who lived and breathed, and failed and followed God. Like Francis of Assisi who, as we consider in The Peace Project "was known for mercy. In fact, his contemplation of it and wonder at its power earned him the label 'channel of mercy.'

    "(Francis) embraced, experienced, and took note of mercy’s transformational power as it affected the core level of his soul. Mercy softened and deeply altered him—setting him free from preconceived ideas and perceptions and setting him on a path toward connection with people, even people he had once thought wretched." (The Peace Project, pg. 25)

    Karen Wright Marsh is the executive director and cofounder of Theological Horizons, a ministry that supports Christians & seekers in academia by providing a welcoming community for engaging faith, thought & life. She holds degrees in philosophy from Wheaton College & linguistics from the University of Virginia. Karen lives with Charles Marsh, a UVa professor, at the Bonhoeffer House in Charlottesville, Virginia.
