Our current book is Love is the Way by Bishop Michael Curry.
Everyone is invited to join us for thoughtful meditation and discussion that addresses the seemingly insurmountable challenges facing the world today: poverty, racism, selfishness, deep ideological divisions, competing claims to speak for God. This book leads readers to discover the gifts they need in order to live the way of love: deep reservoirs of hope and resilience, simple wisdom, the discipline of nonviolence, and unshakable regard for human dignity.
Contact Kathy, katsam1964@gmail.com for more information or to express interest in joining the group.
