Saving Jesus Redux: The message of compassion

This coming Sunday we'll cover the 8th chapter of "Saving Jesus Redux: Jesus' message of compassion."
This one's kind of deep, and it strikes a chord that we know is true. From the reading, "Matthew Fox shouts it from the rooftops: '...there’s a whole agenda out there for us that we have to wake the Church up to serve, because the Church is busy sleeping on a sentimentalized Christ and not the prophetic Jesus who calls us to do justice! As Meister Eckhart says, compassion is just another word for justice. It’s not about feeling sorry for people—it’s about creating circumstances of fairness and equality and balance so that rivers of wisdom and joy can flow through our hearts—through our communities.'”

Please join us for this heart-warming session. We'll be happy to see you. Tender loving childcare is provided. Starts at 9:45
