Who is E.F. Derry?
Evelyn Francis Capel (1911-2000), who used the name E.F. Derry in some publications, was an ordained priest in The Christian Community (a spiritual movement inspired by Rudolf Steiner), and her writings reflect this anthroposophical perspective, focusing on inner spiritual development.
In essence, it's a devotional book that uses the framework of the Christian year to foster deeper spiritual understanding through reflections that connect faith, nature, and everyday life.
