Sinopsis

Daniel Berrigan (+2016+) is most notorious for dramatic anti-war actions at a Catonsville draft board and a Pennsylvania nuclear weapons plant in the âÇÖ60s and âÇÖ80s. Indeed, with friends, he was practically devising whatâÇÖs been called 'liturgical direct action.' Berrigan was also teacher, pastor, and friend to author Bill Wylie-Kellermann. CelebrantâÇÖs Flame is a well-researched, but personal book, a debt of gratitude-in the end a tome of love to his mentor. Reflecting on aspects of BerriganâÇÖs person and work-from poet, prophet, prisoner, priest, and more, Wylie-Kellermann sketches this warm portrait of a figure whose impact on church and movement only deepens in the present moment. The book includes considerable material by Berrigan himself, some previously unpublished-a wedding homily, a long poem, a controversial speech, plus much in the way of personal letters, poetry, and memoir. Written with BerriganâÇÖs hundredth birthday in mind, these reflections help keep the flame of this beloved celebrant burning for the stunning new movement generation arising among us.á
