To Make Myself a Word
This small collection of poems was written in the course of a decade by an Episcopal priest approaching retirement. The inspiration for them came from the "metaphysical poetry" of the Seventeenth century English priest poets, Donne, Herbert, and Traherne. They were first used in his teaching and spiritual direction and continue to inspire readers. James Delmont, of the National Book Critics Circle, offers the follow description: Michael Tan Creti’s To Make Myself a Word is a marvelous collection of free verse poems and poetic prose reflections that provide a running commentary on life, faith and history – history that is both collective and personal.

A New Conversation
In these twenty-nine essays, Episcopalians consider the tradition and the future of their church--its theology, its polity, its missiology.

Several essayists write urgently that the Episcopal Church must change if it is to survive. Others contend--with equal fervor--that American Anglicanism can work if Episcopalians will reclaim and reaffirm their liturgical, spiritual, and theological heritage. Between these views are other writers who suggest that points of supposed opposition might indeed coexist in the church of the future--taking vibrant, and perhaps paradoxical, new forms.
