We live in polarized times. Political and religious divides threaten the bonds of civil discourse that sustain our communities; and tensions around race continue to rise to frighteningly violent proportions. The turbulent storms within us, as well—fear, anxiety, despair, and enraged indignation—wreak havoc within our minds, bodies, and spirits. The Online Academy Day Apart on October 24, 2020 with Frank Rogers, Jr. of the Center for Engaged Compassion and Christopher Carter of the University of San Diego Department of Theology and Religious Studies will explore spiritual resources that ground us in our sacred source, still the storms within us through self-compassion, and cultivate a world where people of difference can live with one another in a spirit of dignity and mutual understanding.
If you’re hungry for spiritual renewal, longing for ways to ground yourself in God, searching for calm in the midst of tumult, this retreat day is for you. Register by October 5, 2020 at Academy.UpperRoom.org.
