She ascended slowly and gracefully, like a tall young angel going up Jacob’s ladder. Her blazer was cerulean blue. Sebastian would have been content to watch her for quite a long time, even at the cost of a pillow of stone.

This month’s article is by Elspeth Parris, who wrote it as part of a 'certificate in theology' course at St Michael's College, Cardiff. She says of the piece; "my last module was on spirituality. We were asked to write about someone who had inspired our own spirituality - the assumption was that we would choose one of the spiritual 'greats' such as Augustine, St John of the Cross or St Julian of Norwich. I chose to write about Elizabeth Goudge because she has been such a strong influence in my own life.”

I would like to thank all those kind people who continue to support the web site, making it possible to tell others about the work of this remarkable author, who continues to speak to us and the generations that follow.

Goudge Talk is the part of site where you the visitors and readers can have your say and ask questions on Elizabeth’s work. We are always looking for short articles on Elizabeth, and if you have visited somewhere that Elizabeth wrote about we would love to share your experience and thoughts. Photographs are welcome too. Please send as an attachment to your email.

This site is being set up and run with the help and cooperation of some of the people who have grown to love the talented shy author of a collection of literary gems, most of which go unnoticed by the mass of society today. This she would accept with a humble gratitude, content with the success she achieved in her lifetime.

“This site has been established with the support of the Trustees of Elizabeth’s Estate. The content of the site is, however, the sole responsibility of its contributors.” Mark Dutton.

I hope that this site will to a large extent, be fan based and led. Let me have any ideas that you have about what you would like to see on this site.
