Someone told me i was a little harsh in the last post, which may be right, i don’t know… but I’ve been trying to think today of people who do write for a mainstream [ie secular] audience about faith and spirituality?

I believe that Stephanie Dowrick is a practising Quaker.
i know she’s ordained as an interfaith minister – she leads interfaith services at Pitt St in Sydney. I hadn’t heard she was a Quaker but her spirituality would certainly lean towards that.
I could come up with stacks of songwriters, but you’ve just referred to books and articles… I immediately thought of Tim Winton and Donald Miller. Eureka Street is fairly widely read and not just by Christians.
