Catching Hope: The Hidden Spiritual Wisdom of Fishing

You are invited to join Father Pete Nunnally and the Diocese of Virginia’s Creation Care Committee July 21 online at 7pm to discuss his newly released book Catching Hope: The Hidden Spiritual Wisdom of Fishing (Broadleaf Press, 978-1506497808).

Fishing is an exercise in hope. The fisherman only knows that they will be at the water’s edge, watching and waiting, anticipating the moment when the pole bends and something wild joins the story–drawing them into the ancient dance with the natural world, our true home. Let’s walk to the edge of the water together, toss out our lines, and wait to see what happens.

It is a transformative, courageous book that invites deep introspection, self-reflection and courage to step into questions that we may not have asked ourselves. This book offers each of us an opportunity to rethink our way of approaching faith and life in vibrant and loving ways towards ourselves and others. It is a book you will return to.

Fr. Pete is an Episcopal priest, author and outdoor faith leader who has spent his life and ministry at the intersection of wilderness and the sacred. To answer this call, he founded Water and Wilderness church in Washington DC – a fully outdoor congregation for anyone who finds God in the natural world – and has built a devoted national following through retreats, speaking engagements and social media with 64K Instagram, 30K Tik Tok and 11K Substack subscribers.
