Prayers From the Basement
In 2002, Rev. Sandy Vasel Edwards, former AUCE Chairperson and long-time member, assembled poems and short reflections from AUCE members into a prayer booklet for the celebration of AUCE’s 30th anniversary. Sandy died of cancer in 2005, so honor her memory we have reprinted copies of Prayers From the Basement to have available to AUCE members and friends.
