This book brings together 34 sermons from the many hundreds that Peter Carnley has preached throughout his 20-year period as Archbishop of Perth. They are mostly occasional sermons preached on special occasions to mark specific events such as Easter, Christmas, Synod openings, Breast Cancer Day, and The Yellow Wallpaper sermon preached on 7th March 1992, on the occasion of the Ordination of Australia's first women priests.
Through these marvelous texts, the reader travels the spiritual world. Peter Carnley takes as his starting point the ordinary and the extra-ordinary to survey the great Christian themes of life, death and how it is we should live. His starting points range from the kitchen table to a holiday in France, always re-telling a story, exploring and teasing out what it means to be a person of faith.
'The Yellow Wall Paper And Other Sermons' will become a treasured and well-thumbed addition to the canon of contemporary spiritual texts.
