The Rev. Ollie V. Rencher
Anne Ayres
Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa shares about his faith and understanding that the sadness, disparity, divisions, and suffering of this world actually can be transformed and redeemed; that there is no such thing as a totally hopeless case. Based on his reading of the Bible and of history, God is transforming, the world now – through us – because God loves us. Regardless of one’s faith and religion, and even in the practice of no religion, Tutu offers that transformation can be recognized and experienced by anyone, especially if we know what God wants from us. A world of justice, goodness, compassion, love, caring, and sharing can come through our partnership with God, and a deeper understanding that each child of God is member of one family, the human family, God’s family. Join fellow travelers on a journey through this inspirational book and invite others to register too.
At the baptism of Jesus, a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.” Roman Catholic priest, Henri Nouwen (1932-1996) wrote that the “Beloved” revealed the most intimate truth about all human beings. By listening to the voice that calls us the Beloved, we will discover within ourselves a desire to hear that same voice more deeply and know ourselves even better as children of God. Becoming the Beloved is the spiritual journey of our becoming bread for the world: taken, blessed, broken, and given, like what we believe happens at the Holy Eucharist. Join fellow travelers and invite others to register for a conversation about your own belovedness.
