The Pilgrim Press & Stillspeaking Publications

The Pilgrim Press is a bold voice with a rich heritage. 

Bearing the name of William Brewster’s Pilgrim Press (publishing from 1617-1619), the history of The Pilgrim Press includes the Bay Psalm Book produced in 1640 by the Puritans of Massachusetts Bay Colony—making ours the oldest English-language publishing tradition in North America. Today we publish books that nurture spiritual growth, cultivate religious leadership, and provoke the soul for the sake of a just world.

Disrupt shame. Reject body policing. Embrace liberation.

Whether your body is small or large, aged or young, disabled or abled, toned or soft—or somewhere in between—anti-fatness affects us all. Fat Church offers a necessary disruption to shame and remembers the theology of God’s abundance.
