“The Book of Joy” Book Group
May 17, 2022 @ 6:50 pm - 8:00 pm
Read and discuss “”The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World”” by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu with St. C’s twice-monthly Tuesday book group, led by Deacon David Griswold, beginning May 17 on Zoom, 6:50 to 8pm. Read more about the book from Ledlie’s Easter sermon: The redemptive love of God revealed in Easter does not remove pain or sin or death – clearly. But it does reveal the way of salvation whereby we can live in pain, with sin, and death, yet live with love, forgiveness, joy, and yes – new life. Some years ago, Archbishop Desmond Tutu traveled to Dharamsala to spend a week with the Dalai Lama in celebration of the latter’s eightieth birthday. The Book of Joy recounts their time together – a mix of wisdom, beauty, and a lot of laughter! Each spoke of this tension – holding suffering with compassion as the way to joy – and redemption.
