Safe Haven: The Possibility of Sanctuary in an Unsafe World

$15.00 CAD

pp. 274, “‘Sanctuary’ is a beautiful word: philosophically rich, culturally intriguing and evocative of so much we cherish ? protection, safety, contemplation, solitude. But lurking at the edges of this bright concept are some very dark associations: fear, paranoia, the slamming of gates to exclude the threat of other-ness. Whatever the word means to each of us, and whatever our ancestral legacies, the yearning for sanctuary is a malady we all share to varying degrees, a quest that is both our birthright and our affliction.”
