About the author
Often referred to as the “Buddhist Episcopalian”, Robert V. Taylor is a
sought-after spiritual leader and public speaker who invests his life
in helping individuals
and organizations to realize their full human potential and impact in
the world. Born and
raised in South Africa where he was active in Progressive Party
politics, at an early age he
organized a national multi-racial event bringing students together from
throughout the
country. Later, he co-founded Faith Forward, a multi-faith environment
and poverty initiative,
and the Seeds of Compassion Network.
Dean of St. Mark's Cathedral Seattle for 8 years, Taylor was also
nominated for Bishop of
California, and for a significant period of time he was the most
prominent, openly gay
Episcopal priest in the U.S. New York's Governor George Pataki referred
to Taylor's multiethnic,
multi-cultural congregation in Peekskill as the "moral conscience and
soul of the city."
A popular public speaker, Taylor maintains a busy schedule of
appearances on the media
and at churches, conferences and gatherings throughout the United
States.
Again from Desmond Tutu: “What footprint will you leave in this world
among
God’s family and the fragile beauty of the Creation? We cannot each do
everything,
but this book reminds us that we can each do something as God’s
partners. Imagine
the ripples of love and compassion flowing like a spiritual tide of
hope, as your life
joins with that of others on a spiritual quest changing our footprint
as we assist in
making the world a more just, compassionate and loving place! Robert’s
book is a
guide to a lifelong journey with God who says, “Please, please help me
in loving.
Please discover that we are made for oneness.”
About the book
A nationally known spiritual leader who has worked
for decades with Archbishop Desmond Tutu and legions more activists in
the fields of religious
and political freedom, homelessness, poverty and discrimination, Robert
V. Taylor
has distilled his lifetime of achievement and profound spiritual
experience into his longawaited
new book, A New Way to Be Human: 7 Spiritual Pathways to Becoming Fully
Alive.
An invaluable guide to transforming lives, revolutionizing our society
and refining our
world, A New Way to Be Human is for those who seek:
„h An impactful life of meaning and purpose, love, hope and compassion
„h The courage to cross the boundaries of religion and move beyond
demonizing debates about
gender equality and human sexuality
„h The spiritual wisdom discovered in the many forms and disguises of
the Holy
„h To claim their own voice and recognize the interconnectedness of all
people
By identifying seven pivotal, universally recognizable life occurrences
as spiritual pathways,
A New Way to Be Human connects each reader to actionable personal
spiritual practices,
free from the dogmatism of religious constraints. And, winding
alongside each of the
pathways is the author¡¦s life experience and spiritual journey, from
his miraculous physical
healing as a teenager in Cape Town, to fighting apartheid alongside
Desmond Tutu, to his
appointment as one of America¡¦s highest ranking, openly gay Episcopal
priests, and his
decades of work to end homelessness and poverty in New York and
Seattle. Taylor's life
continues today to be an unprecedented demonstration of how to
integrate spirituality with
compassionate purpose
