Synopsis

This third volume in the HERETICS IN OCCUPIED EDEN series brings to a climax the spiritual saga of Cloud and Terp and the clothing optional Natural Christian Church they serve. Readers' accumulated questions about the nature and identity of the Old One are answered here in detail. THE DANCING CHURCH explains why repeated attempts through the ages to create utopian communities and new Edens have failed -and how to get it right this time. As the narrative begins, Cloud, Terp, and their friends meet with the Old One and learn startling information. Soon thereafter, Terp and Cloud seek to join an ecumenical pastors organization in Sedona but are strongly rebuffed. In response, they launch their own group of unorthodox spiritual leaders, the Sedona Alternative Ministerium, which includes New Age, Native American, and gay-friendly congregations. These efforts attract the malicious attention of local fundamentalists, who plot to destroy the heretical nudist church. Paranormal gifts, particularly out-of-body travel, blossom and multiply among the growing number of Angel Nest residents. While these events unfold, clandestine plans from the Old One's enclave begin to bear fruit, radically affecting Terp, Cloud and their inclusive community. Along the way, the novel deconstructs a variety of orthodox Christian doctrines and delves into the realm of the intersexual third sex of humankind.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Kenneth Alan Moe was born in Phoenix, where from an early age he experienced mystical events. At age ten he began writing poetry. His working life has included service in the US Army as an intelligence research officer and prisoner of war interrogator, and in the corporate world as an insurance investigator. Encounters with tragic and traumatic incidents in these careers led him to seminary and service as a mainline Protestant minister and denominational executive. Consistently underscoring it all, for more than half a century he has practiced the vocation of writer, evolving through pencil, pen, manual and electric typewriter, and computer to produce reams of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. He and his wife Shelly live in Phoenix with their cats Oscar and Ollivander. Five grown children make their homes in Phoenix and Denver. Everyone in the family is a creative artist in one medium or another, from words to photographic imagery to dance. When asked about autobiographical elements in his novels, the author said, "The books are fiction, but I confess that small pieces of my life are embedded in various characters, male and female. In addition, some paranormal activities described in the novels were inspired by actual things that have happened to people I know as well as to me."
