Description

This week on Faithfully Memphis, Bishop Phoebe returns to the host seat for a conversation with Shari Ray. A teacher of literature and writing for nearly forty years, Shari is Chair of the English Department at St. Mary's Episcopal School in Memphis, Tennessee. In addition to her life as a teacher, she is also a writer. Infusing verse throughout much of her prose, Ray leans on the shoulders of the great poets for both inspiration and truth. In her first book, Surprised by Imperfection, she invites readers to look for the humor, wisdom, and the unexpected glory that makes up our collective imperfection. 

We also learn about Macrina of Caesarea, whose feast day is July 19.
