ANNOUNCING Pursuing the Spiritual Roots of Protest: A Historic Model for Discerning Responses to Uncertain Times - Friday, September 26th at 7:00 p.m. at Stony Point Center, Stony Point NY. Hosted by the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship. Fifty years ago, several committed Christian peacemakers gathered for a retreat to discern meaningful nonviolent responses to a time of war and social crisis. The retreat was hosted by Thomas Merton at his Gethsemani Abbey. Together they processed ideas about contrasts between spiritual and social privilege, the role of technology, the relationship between the church and society, our rights to protest, and sources of hope. Gordon Oyer will share from his story of that event and lead us in discussion on how that fifty year old conversation continues to inform and inspire us in our struggles for spiritually grounded responses to the social challenges of our own times, including war and terrorism, economic inequalities and environmental dangers. stonypointcenter.org/get-involved/latest-news/193-oyer0914#.VBcFJ_ldVS0
