Writing about spirituality, Episcopal pastor Richard Schmidt explores breadth of God's presence

From Alabama-

The Rev. Richard Schmidt, former rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Daphne, likens knowing God to the experience of strolling by the sea.

“I can walk along the seashore, telling others what the ocean is like,” he says, “but there is so much more. What about the sailors, the cartographers, the fishermen?

“Could I learn something from each of them?”

For Schmidt, 67, the answer is yes.

Through his five books including “God Seekers: Twenty Centuries of Christian Spiritualities,” and “Praises, Prayers, and Curses: A Conversation With the Psalms,” Schmidt has explored faith in its myriad forms.
