Labyrinth...  following Jesus daily

Radical Compassion: Part 1: The inward journey of faith...

...will lead us toward a Holy Place - toward Bethlehem.  Bethlehem is a place in the mind where God is manifest.  We will move among the poor, among the destitute.  We will recognize broken dreams and broken hopes.  Injustice and destitution will welcome Emmanuel - God with us.  We have an opportunity to discover a child and be discovered by him; to embrace Embrace and be embraced by Love; love and be loved - in the shadows of the streets of Bethlehem. 

The six session Home-Study will begin the week of Thanksgiving - October 20 and conclude the week of the Reign of Christ - November 24, 2003
