The latest edition of The Living Church is available online to registered subscribers.

In the cover story Gary G. Yerkey writes that the Rev. Malcolm Boyd, “who has served as writer-in-residence for the Diocese of Los Angeles since 1996, with an office at the Cathedral Center, became a ‘celebrity priest’ to his surprise in 1965 with the publication of a slim but edgy book of prayers called Are You Running With Me, Jesus? It became a runaway bestseller with an estimated one million copies in print worldwide. He says a review in The Living Church captured the book’s essence.”
