A New Book from Deborah Lee ’17
The Rev. Deborah A. Lee, Class of 2017 and a Spiritual Director at GTS, has a new book from WestBow Press: This Is Another Day: Reflections on Scripture, Faith, and Prayer for Action. The work is a collection of daily meditations crafted to be a companion on your spiritual journey. Written from the heart, these devotional reflections invite us into God's word in order for us to speak a shared language of love, inspiration, sustenance, and even challenge as we journey together into unknown seasons. Buoyed by the overwhelming grace of Christ, we are called by Jesus-whose resurrection transcends death and fear-to keep our hearts and minds set on hope, love, mercy, justice, thanksgiving, and reconciliation.
The book began as a series of daily reflections Lee began during video outreach ministry in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. Lee realized that “even though the coronavirus kept us physically apart, our hearts could still be knit together in Spirit.”
Lee received her M.Div. as well as a Certificate in Spiritual Direction from General, and also holds a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Counseling and served as a mental health counselor and educator, both internationally and within the U.S. She is an ecumenical spiritual director in private practice and also offers spiritual direction through the Annand Program for Spiritual Formation at Berkeley Divinity School at Yale as well as to the community at General. Lee has served as an associate rector at St. Bartholomew’s in Manhattan, as priest-in-charge at St. Paul’s in Chester, NY, as assisting priest at Christ Church in Warwick, NY, and was formerly the Program Manager for Pastoral Care and Community at Trinity Church Wall Street. She joined forces with several non-profit social justice organizations in the United States and internationally and was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Morocco. Lee is a true foodie, enjoys the art of photography, relishes travel and the outdoors, and loves to sing. She can be contacted at www.revdeborahlee.com.
