by Sarah Chestnut


In this lecture, Sarah shares hr poem-prayer "A Liturgy of
(Re)Dedication to the Way of the Amateur," recently published in
Every Moment Holy Vol. III, and reflects on the questions and
longings the prayer addresses: How might reclaiming the old
meaning of "amateur" help us live into the freedom Christ gives?
How do we cultivate the courage to try something new or to
approach something old in a new way? What does a right
relationship between work and identity look like?
