Saturday, October 19, 2019 from 9:00 a.m. ~ 1:00 p.m. in the sanctuary of the Freeman Center for Jewish Life, Durham
Join Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove to explore communal practices of discernment for the common good. How do we learn to hear the voice of God in community? Where do our individual desires and commitments intersect with others' in the process of discernment. Through a combination of Scripture study, song, and conversation, learn how we find our way in beloved community.
