Abstract

108 Anglican Theological Review 104(1) Berrigan knew that lesson well, and the many lectures, essays, sermons, speeches, poems, and letters that Wylie-Kellermann cites provide the evidence. What Berrigan also knew was the close relationship between word and communion, in the sense of both fel- lowship and ceremony. Wylie-Kellermann is at his best as he recreates the intimacy and influence of the 1964 retreat on the spiritual roots of protest hosted by Thomas Merton at Gethsemani Abbey, the ecumenical underground seminary Berrigan established after his first incarceration, and the lectures he delivered on the book of Revelation at Union Theological Seminary (supplemented by regular extracurricular scripture-and-scotch seminars after hours). The kind of public performance that flowed from these networks was perhaps Berrigan’s greatest contribution to his generation’s determination to learn war no more. Wylie-Kellermann marvels at Berrigan the virtuoso of “liturgical direct action” (p. 46). Long before his cameo appearance in Ronald Joffé’s 1986 film The Mission, Berrigan capitalized on the moral power he found in the mix of theater, play, ritual, and provocative deed that became his vocational signature. Wylie-Kellermann’s tribute effectively communicates this prophetic genius and his admiration for it. Readers familiar with Berrigan and his circle will
