All of us are confronted by the new world of digital distance, perpetual connectivity, change at warp speed, and broken past beliefs. For pastors dealing with secularism and its magnetic pull on youth, this world is as confounding as the one Columbus met or astronauts faced. For some youth struggling to find a path, nihilism is a possible choice. Many young people are beginning to leave the church, with no idea about where to land. Poetry, based in experience, offers them a common ground on which to meet and speak. The poems in As Our Fathers Told Us try to walk the border between old wisdom and new realities, in a language in which both pastors and youthful seekers may dialog.

Placidus Henry is a former psychiatric social worker whose clients often brought questions of faith into the therapy hour. After watching four generations of young Americans struggle with their identities, and with their country's struggle with itself, it became clearer to him that if two millennia of the Christian ethos were not becoming lost or erased, they were certainly becoming smudged by the distractions of secular culture. Poetry is the medium of distilled experience. The poetry here covers the areas of youthful love, work, military service, and social injustice, seen through the lens of a searcher's spirituality.
