On Feb. 1 from 7-8 p.m., All Saints’ Church in Peterborough will start another weekly adult Christian education session. Frank Manley, an All Saints’ parishioner, will lead the discussion of the New York Times bestseller, “The Book of Joy,” by the Dali Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Join the church as it discusses what joy means in Christian lives and handles questions such as: Is there a difference between joy and happiness? How can we experience great pain and loss or even the prospect of our own death and still be joyful? The guides are two men whom many regard as the spiritual giants of our day.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, an Anglican, has a deep and profound Christian faith. His Holiness the Dalai Lama, a Buddhist monk, refers to himself as a non-theist (does not believe in God). They have both found great joy following almost identical paths.
Session No. 4 will meet for four Wednesday evenings, Feb. 1 through 22 from 7-8 p.m. – at All Saints’ Church Old Parish House, 51 Concord Street, Peterborough. Sessions are free and all are welcome to attend one or all four evenings. For more information, call the church office at 924-3202.
