The Glorians: Visitations from the Holy Ordinary
Williams finds the sacred in forests, oceans and moss rather than doctrine, carrying the desert-shaped attention of Refuge into a book about plural gods.
Williams writes about the sacred as something encountered in forests, oceans and moss rather than in doctrine, continuing the desert-shaped attention of Refuge into a book about plural gods and ordinary visitation. The glorians of the title are the moments when the world declares itself, and her argument is that they are available constantly to anyone willing to stop and be interrupted.
