The Church of Our Blessed Redeemer Who Walked Upon the Waters

Abstract

The Church of Our Blessed Redeemer Who Walked Upon the Waters is a collection of short stories about Elwyn Parker, a devout pianist who becomes a worldly car salesman. Thirty Fingers, My Father\u27s Business, and Apostate introduce Elwyn, a saint at church and a trouble-making evangelist at school, who nevertheless finds himself in a love affair with an older woman, Sister Morrisohn. In Captivity, Elwyn, a college freshman, experiences worldliness, then grows to resent and ultimately reject Sister Morrisohn. In The Leap, Elwyn is back at the piano, but unemployed and unhappily married. He finds comfort only in his decade-old affair. In The Lord of Travel, Elwyn, a car salesman, appears bereft of his former morals until he hoodwinks Ida, who reminds him of the now deceased Sister Morrisohn. Elwyn repairs Ida\u27s car, redeeming himself in the process
