Other editions of book Journeys of Faith: The Story of Preacher and Edith Lewis

The many friends who knew Preacher Lewis tell cheerful stories about the collection can that financed his charities, the baptismal caps he knitted, and his sometimes unorthodox means to an end. Grownups who were second graders in Edith Lewis's schoolroom can't see a graham cracker without recalling her firm and loving guidance. Here is the story of two extraordinary people who came to New Mexico Territory in the first years of twentieth century to build a life together. Hunter Lewis, an exuberant Episcopal priest, tirelessly served a vast mission field that over the next four decades would come to include 22 missions and as much as a third of the students at New Mexico's agricultural college. Edith Weymouth Lewis intelligent and strong willed, presided over a household of six children and a continuing assortment of family and friends. Preacher and Edith Lewis belonged to an era that has passed into New Mexico history. But all along the Rio Grande Valley, the impact of their dedicated, endearingly human lives has not been forgotten.
