Prayer as Ballast, Rudder and Sail: A Collection of Prayers
By Ira G. Zepp
Introduction by David L. Carrasco
Ira Zepp published Prayer as Ballast, Rudder and Sail: A Collection of Prayers in the spring of 2002. This collection of prayers reflect Ira's guiding presence on campus and community throughout his extraordinary teaching career.
“The Beloved Community, a religious and national ideal inspired by the life and teaching of Martin Luther King, Jr., called for ALL PEOPLE, regardless of background, to live together in harmony, justice and peace. This goal is increasingly a reality on our campus by way of a more inclusive staff and student body. The most recent expression of the Beloved Community at the College is Common ground on the Hill, whose purpose is to seek unity in our diversity through the expression of all forms of traditional art and music.”
