Group Reading of The Tears of Things

Join us for a five-week guided reading and conversation series exploring Richard Rohr’s The Tears of Things.

Each session pairs a prophetic voice from Scripture with a contemporary figure, inviting us into deeper reflection on justice, compassion, and transformation.

This gathering is for those longing for a faith that can hold sorrow without rushing to fix it, and love that tells the truth with tenderness. Through short readings, silence, and gentle reflection, we will listen together for what is emerging—within us and among us—at the pace of Wisdom.
