The Diocese of Long Island is pleased to announce the publication of On the Wings of Morning: Two Islands, One Church by the Rt. Rev. Richard B. Martin. The memoir helps to set down the memories of one who was very much in the midst of a crucial period of the Episcopal Church, especially in dealing with its black people.
We follow Richard Beamon Martin from Pawleys Island to Long Island and follow his journey in ministry spanning more than six decades, nearly forty of them as a bishop.
Bishop Martin’s life shows how steadfast faith can bring one through challenges and losses.
The book is a glimpse of the author’s vast reservoir of information and experience about ministry and mission, God, faith the Episcopal Church, the priesthood, life and discrimination. He shares recollections, meditations, stories, poems, sermons, theological musings and photographs.
Part social history, part autobiography, part memoir, the book will interest clergy and laity alike, regardless of denomination. It will also interest the general reader.
On the Wings of Morning: Two Islands, One Church inspires. It educates. It provokes. It instructs. And perhaps above all, it equips us for the journey. Working directly with Bishop Martin, Irene Jackson Brown, PhD, directed the project as its editor. Financial support for the project was provided by Episcopal Charities of Long Island.
The Rt. Rev. Orris G. Walker, Jr. recognized the significance of Bishop Martin’s manuscript and asked Canon Diane M. Porter to facilitate its development.
