SUMMARY:What's Love Got To Do With It?
DESCRIPTION:How to love ourselves and each other in a divided world \n\n\n\nPhoto by Angie Wright\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis day retreat at Avila Center for Community Leadership will invite participants into one of the most challenging and transformative teachings shared across many spiritual traditions: the call to love one’s enemies while also learning to love oneself with honesty\, dignity\, and care.  \n\n\n\nRather than treating these practices as opposite\, we will explore how they are deeply connected and mutually empowering. What does love look like? What does love require of us? How can we embody love in the midst of discord and division?  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRev. Angie Wright and Rev. Dr. Cathy S. Gilliard will guide participants as we explore personal challenges\, unhealed wounds\, and hopes for moving forward with greater intention and grace.   \n\n\n\nSponsored by Peace Hill at Avila and RCWMS. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRetreat Facilitators\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRev. Angie Wright\n\n\n\nRev. Angie Wright is the author of Loving My Enemies & Other Outlandish Pursuits\, a memoir of family\, faith and power. Angie is a retired UCC pastor devoted to the pursuits of justice and mercy. She has two splendid sons and one precocious 8-year-old grandson. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRev. Dr. Cathy S. Gilliard\n\n\n\nRev. Dr. Cathy Gilliard is a retired United Methodist Church pastor\, having most recently served as senior minister at Park Avenue United Methodist Church\, New York\, NY. She is the proud mother of two wonderful sons and six amazing grandchildren. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLoving My Enemies & Other Outlandish Pursuits \n\n\n\nThis memoir of faith\, family\, and power follows Rev. Angie Wright’s commitment as an activist and pastor to stand against hate without indulging the temptation of hating the haters. In her story\, spirituality meets social justice\, and betrayal pushes against the ethic of forgiveness. Rev. Wright probes questions most of us have to face at times in our lives: How do we reconsider our relationship with people we’ve been taught to hate and fear? And when others wreak harm on us or our communities\, can we respond in ways that summon their humanity while protecting our own? \n\n\n\nPurchase the book here.
