Broken We KneelBroken We Kneel:  Reflections on Faith and Citizenship.  Jossey-Bass, 2004.

Also memoir-oriented, Broken traces Diana’s experiences in one Episcopal parish following the events of September 11, 2001.  As a lament, it mixes personal experience, political reflection, biblical scholarship and theology to create a unique account of the church’s missed opportunity to witness to God’s love for the whole world.  Named by Christian Century as one of the best books in pastoral theology in 2004. 

“The reader will find here a sane, grounded invitation to humanness that is broken, but not driven to despair.”
Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary

“Diana Butler Bass educates, inspires, corrects, and stimulates.  I wish every Democrat in American would read this book, and then quickly pass it on to a Republican—including our President.”
Brian McLaren, author, A Generous Orthodoxy
