Boundless Compassion
Joyce Rupp states that “the greatest challenge of compassion may well be that of recognizing the dignity and worth of every person – regardless of race, gender, culture, creed, political stance or personal behavior. The light of divinity dwells within each one no matter how hidden that goodness might be.”
We live in a world that is in dire need of compassion. Our study will include the topics: Compassion as a Way of Life, Compassion for Self, Compassion and Suffering, Compassion and Marginalization and Compassion and Creation. Our own personal transformation into a more compassionate person is the beginning of the transformation of our world.
A five week series will be offered using DVD presentations by Joyce Rupp and her books Boundless Compassion & Prayers of Boundless Compassion. Donation: $20 plus cost of books $25.
Pre-registration deadline: February 18
