January 12, 19 & 26, 7-8:30 pm via Zoom
In January, the group will discuss “The Book of Joy” by the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. These two holy men have survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite their hardships — or, as they would say, because of them — they are two of the most joyful people on the planet. With this book they answer the question: How do we find joy in the face of life’s inevitable suffering? This month’s book club is facilitated by Rev. Sandy Boyer, HARC Interfaith Coordinator. For a Zoom link, contact director@harc.datachievereview.xyz. Houses of worship: consider gathering interested members in person to join via one computer to include those who don’t use Zoom and add to the fellowship. Flyer with more info
