Summary
Details

When the pews grow empty and the sermons ring hollow, where does faith go?

For many, leaving the church feels like losing a spiritual home-but it can also open the door to something deeper, freer, and more authentic.

In Finding God Beyond the Church, Harry Birkenhead-an Episcopal priest for over 35 years-shares a candid and inspiring journey through the beauty, struggles, and ultimate shortcomings of institutional religion. With warmth, wisdom, and unflinching honesty, he invites readers to step beyond creeds and walls to discover a living, breathing relationship with the Divine.

Through personal stories, practical spiritual practices, and reflections on faith without dogma, Harry offers guidance for:

Releasing the guilt and fear that often accompany leaving a religious institution. Building sacred rhythms and spaces in everyday life. Creating community outside of traditional churches. Encountering God directly-in nature, in stillness, and in the heart.

Whether you are disillusioned, curious, or simply longing for a more personal spirituality, this book is a companion for your journey toward a faith rooted not in an institution but in the presence of God.

Because finding God is not about where you sit on Sunday-it's about where you stand in life.
