Book groups to launch April 25 and 26
These days many of us view kindness as an inert act based on the absence of being a jerk, or we see it as heroic and herculean, beyond the reach and capability of mere mortals. But what if kindness was a practice we could each choose, every day, as a way to experience community and wholeness in new, life-giving, world-changing ways?
In his insightful book In Defense of Kindness, leadership coach and pastor Bruce Reyes-Chow shows how being kind (which is different than being nice) has the power to transform our relationships in all arenas of our life – from the internet to the public square, from those closest to us to those we find it hardest to be kind to, from justice work on the streets to meetings in the boardroom, and from the line at the coffee shop to the line for school drop-off.
To join one of the two book groups, please sign up and get your copy of the book (both print or e-book versions are available). For each of the five sessions, participants read approximately 20, easy-to-read, pages.
Tuesdays at 5pm, April 25 - May 23
Wednesdays at 9am, April 26 - May 24
