Made for Goodness: A Quiet Day Led by the Rev. Margaret Bullitt-Jonas
9:00 a.m. to Noon, Parish Hall, Grace Church, Amherst, Massachusetts.
How would our lives change if we overcame what Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu calls "the demon-fear of not being good enough"? What holds us back from accepting our essential goodness? What spiritual insights and practices will help us re-claim it? Using passages from Scripture and Made for Goodness, the new book by the Archbishop and his daughter Mpho Tutu, we will explore what Jesus meant when he asked us to be "perfect" (Matthew 5:48), and the possibility that human beings are "not sinners in need of saving but saints in need of seeing." Please join us for a morning of reflection and prayer.
