Back by popular request, the author of Gandhi and Jesus, Terry Rynne will take you on retreat into the world of nonviolence where you will learn from the best: Jesus and Gandhi. Two of the key lessons that Gandhi took from Christianity are:
•    The teaching in the Sermon on the Mount and
•    The symbol of the Cross

Please join us and find out how these key lessons can help incorporate the essence of nonviolence into our lives today.

Terry will present 4 short teaching segments followed by sharing and general group discussion as well as within small groups.  The 4 presentation segments are:

1. Gandhi and Jesus: The Power of Nonviolence
2. The “Good Life” according to Jesus and Gandhi: The “Kin(g)dom” of God

4. The Church as an Incubator Community of Nonviolence

We hope that you will join us for this inspiring and important retreat.
