The Nun and the Priest: Love, Celibacy & Passion

By: Evelyn McLean Brady

Now, when celibacy for Roman Catholic priests is being questioned as never before, Evelyn McLean Brady shares a memoir of her own lived experience. Based on her journals and Father Hugh Brady's love letters written from 1965-1970, Evelyn intimately chronicles the interior conflict between her desire to become a Catholic nun to "live only for God to serve others" and the unexpected attraction she feels for the handsome, charismatic Father Brady. When this novice and priest finally confess their feelings for each other, the mystery of human love unfolds, as do tests and trials they could not have imagined. The tension between Evelyn and her mother also adds unexpected turns and detours to the tale. In the tradition of Abelard and Heloise and St. Francis and St. Clare, this is a love story of two celibates who desire to follow the ways of God yet are lured by the pull of the human heart.

Sister Karen's Paths to Nonviolence

By: Evelyn McLean Brady

The Interfaith Peace Network of Western New York chose to commission this book to remember Sister Karen Klimczak, SSJ, Buffalo's beloved champion of nonviolence, who dedicated her life to providing sanctuary and hope for ex-offenders and was killed on Good Friday in 2006 by one of the men she served. Sister Karen would not want this 'memory keeper' to focus on her. She lived as one with the community she served, and that would be the context in which she would want to be remembered ... The book is divided into two parts. Part I provides an overview of Sister Karen's life and prison ministry. It introduces the major themes of mysticism, nonviolence, forgiveness, redemption, charity, and respect that governed her life. In Part II the community writings explore these themes. At the end of this book, reflection and discussion questions will provide opportunities for readers, individually or in groups, to explore the themes ...

Early Modern Actors and Shakespeare's Theatre

Thinking with the Body

By: Evelyn Tribble

What skills did Shakespeare's actors bring to their craft? How do these skills differ from those of contemporary actors? Early Modern Actors and Shakespeare's Theatre: Thinking with the Body examines the 'toolkit' of the early modern player and suggests new readings of the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries through the lens of their many skills. Theatre is an ephemeral medium. Little remains to us of the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries: some printed texts, scattered documents and records, and a few scraps of description, praise, and detraction. Because most of what survives are printed playbooks, students of English theatre find it easy to forget that much of what happened on the early modern stage took place within the gaps of written language: the implicit or explicit calls for fights, dances, military formations, feats of physical skill, song, and clowning. Theatre historians and textual editors have often ignored or denigrated such moments, seeing them merely as extraneous amusements or signs that the text has been 'corrupted' by actors. This book argues that recapturing a positive account of the skills and expertise of the early modern players will result in a more capacious understanding of the nature of theatricality in the period.
