Join us for a special introduction to the life and teachings of an inspiring 20th century mystic, visionary & spiritual leader. Dr. Howard Thurman was a guide and mentor for Martin Luther King Jr. and many others in the struggle for freedom, justice, and civil rights. His work speaks directly to today’s personal and social issues, highlighting the powerful connection between spirituality and social transformation. A renowned author, educator, and preacher, Thurman co-founded the nation’s first interracial interfaith congregation.
Through readings, discussion, audio and video resources we will explore the relevance and implications of his wisdom of contemporary times, and consider the practical applications of the principles presented for each participant’s life journey.
All are welcome – newcomers as well as those with some past study of Dr. Thurman.
