Taking a Long Road Home

History & Biography

“The candid log of a turbulent voyage from 'sky-bound' religious institutions to an 'earth-based ecumenism.' A former Jesuit priest and advocate of reform in clerical ministry (especially regarding celibacy), Eugene Bianchi narrates stages of his search for faith grounded in awareness of love and grace in the here and now. Written both for the critical theologian and the 'person on the street,' the book provides opportunities for discussion, heart-warming memories, and sharing the desire to 'end well--finir bien' as the most important of life's enterprises.”
