SUMMARY:The Tears of Things - Book Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:The Tears of Things\nAlternating Tuesdays 7:00PM – 8:00PM\nIt seems that the post WWII order we have grown accustomed to is crumbling all around us. Didn’t we learn anything? There is a gnawing feeling that there must be something better. We live in a time when the Christianity we were raised to believe is giving way to a new broader\, expansive and meaningful Faith that includes God inspired justice. \nJoin us as Scott Hagedorn and Mike Chakoian moderate a discussion series exploring the way of both ancient Hebrew and contemporary  prophets. What does it mean to be a prophet and  how can the prophetic voice provide a constructive roadmap to a new order based on the teachings of Jesus through the lens of Franciscan Friar Richard Rohr in his new book “The Tears Of Things – Prophetic Wisdom For An Age Of Outrage”
