About the event
In the second half of the 20th century, Thomas Merton emerged as a spiritual master for many Americans. Beginning with The Seven Story Mountain, he chronicled his journey through life as a partier, a convert, a monk, a writer, a prophet, and a hermit. Above all, Merton was a passionate seeker who made lots of mistakes. His journey can give us hope and his insights can offer guidance as we make our way along the spiritual path. During this retreat with Rev. Peter Pearson, we will pray, listen, share in conversation, and unpack some of Merton’s lessons applied to our own lives. Please use the RSVP button to reserve your space. The $25 fee (payable by cash or check at the door) includes lunch, but if this fee is prohibitive, please contact office@gracechurchhonesdale.org, as we have funds to make it possible for you to attend.
