Description: Who was William Stringfellow? Like most prophets, he
was brilliant. But he was also, like most prophets, difficult,
irascible, suspicious, contentious--and full of courage. He was a
lawyer, a social activist, and a dedicated communicant of the
Episcopal Church. He graduated from Harvard Law School in the 1950s
but put aside the promise of a lucrative career and went to work in
East Harlem, one of New York City's poorest neighborhoods. At the
height of the Vietnam War, he took the Reverend Daniel Berrigan
into his home and was indicted for harboring a fugitive. In the
1970s, while the Episcopal Church was struggling with such issues
as the ordination of women and the funding of programs for
minorities, he accused the ecclesiastical hierarchy of arrogance,
duplicity, and lack of leadership. Everything William Stringfellow
said and did was grounded in his profound belief in the Incarnation
and the Eschaton. He knew Jesus Christ to be the Word of God, who
is in all things and who challenges the powers and principalities
of this world, calling people and institutions to repentance and
newness of life. In Prophet of Justice, Prophet of Life editor
Robert Boak Slocum has gathered a diverse group of clergy, legal
scholars, and seminary faculty to produce this stimulating and
provocative series of essays on the life and work of William
Stringfellow.
