Malcolm Boyd with noted performance artist Tim Miller during their “Sermon as Performance Art” at St. Augustine by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in Santa Monica, Calif. They also presented this at Highways performance center in Santa Monica. |
Malcolm was invited to be poet/writer-in-residence at the Cathedral Center of St. Paul in Los Angeles. He moved into his quiet third-floor office there. He began a new ministry as spiritual director for around a dozen women and men, mostly clergy, who range in age from the late twenties to the early seventies. The Church Divinity School of the Pacific awarded him an honorary doctorate.
Beatrice, Malcolm’s mother, died just ten days before her 99th birthday. Shortly Malcolm would write about her long illness and death in a short piece entitled “Mother Broke Her Hip” in a book “In Times Like These…How We Pray” that he edited with Bishop J. Jon Bruno.
Malcolm’s book “Rich with Years: Daily Meditations on Growing Older” was published in 1994.
