Niles Beach: The spiritual journey of Thomas M. Quinn, beloved Fordham Law School professor, as told through collected writings - Paperback
Description
by Anita Quinn (Author)
Thomas M. Quinn's legacy as a Fordham Law School professor and civil rights activist are legendary. Now his widow, Anita, also illuminates his spiritual life.
The eldest son of an undertaker, Quinn went on to serve his country in World War II China, become a Jesuit priest, leave the order, and at age forty-six, build a new life. Before, during, and after the priesthood, he constantly rebalanced the earthly and divine dimensions of his life. His writings reflect this struggle in the form of Biblical passages and sensual experiences-savoring a perfect sapphire in Calcutta; choosing his red mahogany desk; sipping a beer, alone, in a Rome cafe. Quinn's life addresses key questions for us all: What north star directs us in times of turmoil? Where do we get the courage to change? And where do we go to recharge our batteries? He found his refuge in beaches. During a chance encounter on Niles Beach in Gloucester, Massachusetts, he met Anita, the love of his life.Care
