This workshop will develop the theology, theory, and practice of a life that integrates the Gospel of nonviolence, contemplative prayer, simplicity, and environmentally sustainable living, drawing inspiration from the works of Dorothy Day, Mahatma Gandhi, Thomas Berry, Wendell Berry, Thomas Merton, and the poetry of Denise Levertov. The goal is to establish a model for a meaningful Christian way of life for laity in the 21st century. Sessions build on each other, so it is recommended that participants come to both sessions (though one session is permitted). Please register.
Suzanne and Brayton Shanley are the co-founders of Agape Community, a lay Catholic residential community, ecumenical and interfaith in outreach and practice, with a focus on daily prayer,evangelical simplicity, and nonviolent witness in the world.
