“We celebrate the Earth—for she is our Mother, we are her sons and daughters, and this Earth is our only home.” Father Scott’s pastoral mission is to bring diverse groups of people together as a spiritual community. Over the years he has compiled this most useful handbook for inter-faith worship to honor and celebrate our Earth, while merging a variety of cross-cultural traditions in ecumenical settings. Celebrating the Earth! provides sample ceremonies for spring renewal, a summer mid-day worship, an autumn harvest, and a winter liturgy of forgiveness. There are numerous blessings, prayers, and rituals for special occasions—for example, the blessing of animals on the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, and the Ecological Stations of the Cross (in English and Spanish)—together with a collection of services and readings which focus on “giving thanks” and reminding us that “We are All One.” The extensive Appendices include spiritual guidance and statements by indigenous leaders on the proper relationship to “all that lives,” as well as suggested Resources for pastors and leaders who can use these various ceremonies in their own communities as a way of bringing people together to pray—and to be grateful, joyful, and mindful—all through the year.

People of the Circle, People of the Four Directions explores the common spiritual symbols of the Native People of North and South America. Drawing on poems, stories, ceremonies, and ethnological writings, Scott McCarthy gives examples of the use of circles, the four directions, and the number four, both individually and in combination. The purpose of this endeavor is to encourage understanding and dialogue, the kind of dialogue that is inevitable as cultures meet, sometimes colliding, sometimes entwining, sometimes remaining separate.

Scott as he has traveled the world to meet Native peoples…firstas a youth-on-a-quest, and later as a Catholic priest.Sacraments and Shamans chronicles Fr. Scott’s attraction toNative ways as a young boy, his participation in Native Americanceremonies, and his eagerness to learn more about the spiritualpractices and teachings of peoples in the northern and southernhemispheres—a sacred life journey that has allowed him to travelamong women, men, and children of just about every humanculture.As a priest and spiritual leader, with its plethora of dailysacred activities, Fr Scott has observed many local churches andceremonies, as well as native “syncretistic” traditions, takingtime to consider their origin and effectiveness for the People.As a continuing inquirer into all things spiritual, and a “people-connector”—he brings together persons of different backgrounds, cultures, or experiences to share the richness of human contact found among the many cultures andsubcultures of our world. “Little by little, one friendship at a time, the whole world benefits by our connecting to each other.”</p>
