An Internet Search Reveled:

.
Today I went searching on the net for more information and writings by Diana Butler Bass ... I was NOT disappointed ... There is her own web site where there is whack of information about her six books, appearances, and writings, AND she is also found on a Blog over at BeliefNet hosted by Jim Wallis of Sojourners ...
.
Diana Butler Bass is one of those voices that the modern church needs to not only listen to, but also honestly and openly heed ... She's pointing in a direction that if we as a Church fail to consider, we may be watching our own demise ...
.
From her entry at Jim Wallis' blog I found this closing comment:
.
Frankly, the world has never needed the Christian practice of diversity more than it does today. ... Christians of every imaginable stripe—in the same room, doing important work together. We proved—or maybe discovered—that the only limit to diversity is the love of God.
.
It says so much ... maybe one day we'll have the courage to not only listen, but to follow ...

diana is a great woman-she is both very down to earth and easy going and also a brilliant mind who excels in academic and theological circles..a rare mix--sadly!
