Book Study: The Tears of Things
Advertisement
How do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel in such an unjust world? These are the questions we will consider in this six-week discussion group on Richard Rohr’s most personal book yet, The Tears of Things.
Rohr turns to the writings of the Jewish prophets, revealing how some of the lesser-read books of the Bible offer us a crucial path forward today. He “synthesizes action and contemplation with greater passion and courage than ever before. By retelling the stories of the Biblical prophets, Rohr calls upon us all to speak truth in our own times and to speak it with love.”
Facilitator: Rosemary Insley is a retired chaplain and bereavement counselor with Master’s degrees in Pastoral Studies and Social Work. As a spiritual companion, she guides others in the Spiritual Exercises and in retreats.
