This book comprises a selection of William Hart McNichols's popular icons and sacred images into a single collection.
This book, with extensive illustrations, explores the life, spirituality, and artistic vocation of Fr. William Hart McNichols by way of interviews with Chris Pramuk. The first half of the book traces his spiritual journey, his early sense of loneliness and being set apart for some purpose, which realized in his twin vocations as priest and artist. The second half covers his apprenticeship to the iconographer Robert Lentz, setting him on his path as one of the great iconographers of our time. An extraordinarily deep glimpse into the heart of a true mystic and spiritual master.
The 1980s and 1990s, the height of the AIDS crisis in the United States, was decades ago now, and many of the stories from this time remain hidden: A Catholic nun from a small Midwestern town packs up her life to move to New York City, where she throws herself into a community under assault from HIV and AIDS. A young priest sees himself in the many gay men dying from AIDS and grapples with how best to respond, eventually coming out as gay and putting his own career on the line. A gay Catholic with HIV loses his partner to AIDS and then flees the church, focusing his energy on his own health rather than fight an institution seemingly rejecting him. Set against the backdrop of the HIV and AIDS...
A child learns that he must let go of hurt feelings and not let them grow big.
In Hope Sings, So Beautiful, award-winning author Christopher Pramuk offers a mosaic of images and sketches for thinking and praying through difficult questions about race. The reader will encounter the perspectives of artists, poets, and theologians from many different ethnic and racial communities. This richly illustrated book is not primarily sociological or ethnographic in approach. Rather, its horizon is shaped by questions of theology, spirituality, and pastoral practice. Pramuk's challenging work on this difficult topic will stimulate fruitful conversations and fresh thinking, whether in private study or prayer; in classrooms, churches, and reading groups; or among friends and family around the dinner tale.
Curator's Statement Light in All Darkness: Images and Icons by William Hart McNichols is an exhibition brimming with inspiring icons, figures and people from diverse backgrounds. You will see icons of Kateri Tekakwitha "The Lily of the Mohawks," St. Rose of Lima, Patroness of the Americas, and even Princess Diana. The real "light in all darkness" of this exhibition is Father Bill himself. It has been an honor to work with him on the exhibition and catalog, sometimes daily, making a careful selection of the images and icons you will see in this exhibit. We were very thoughtful in selecting the images to bring hope and light to those in a time of darkness. The timeliness of this exhibit has made it even more impactful.
