Play. Tell. Be.

Since childhood days playing the recorder in worship, Sarah Agnew has been invited to lead her church communities. What do others see and feel, that they choose to follow her? Trust in a playful process, in the magic of "failing"? Trust in, and deep listening to, Sacred and human stories? Trust in Sacred Presence and the profound gift of turning up to be with each other? While outside voices celebrated leadership as being charisma-driven in a CEO style, Agnew knew herself to be an artist--creative, alternative. Personally, as chronic pain and illness grow ever dominant, Agnew knows herself to need a slower, gentler pace. Playfully, with creativity, this book tells a story of becoming, of developing a Rule of Sacred Presence, telling one person's story in order to encourage yours.
