We are studying A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey Toward an Undivided Life – Welcoming the Soul and Weaving Community in a Wounded World by Parker J. Palmer
A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey Toward an Undivided Life discusses:
How can we bring courage and renewal our communities or institutions.
What it means to live an undivided life, one where our inner truth can find expression and value in our outer lives, despite the pressures we may face?
The conditions necessary to create “circles of trust,” based on the principles and practices that can help us embrace nonviolence in everyday life.
For more information or to express your interest in joining the group, please contact Kathy Dickason, katsam1964@gmail.com.
On hiatus during Lent and Easter until late April.
We'll be announcing our new book as the time to resume draws closer.
We study books that help us to deepen our faith and how to put it into action in ministry to our community and the world.
