IPC MONTHLY MEETING 8-21
August 21st showing of John Dear's DVD The Narrow Path at our monthly meeting at the church on 12th and Eastman at 7pm. Tamara Masarik 377-3022.
All of us say we want Peace, but only a few are willing to prove it! John Dear's incredible story will touch anyone who believes in the power of peace. Perhaps most important of all, viewers will understand through John's story that the most essential disarmament of all is the one that happens in our own heart --when we finally let go of self-righteousness, resentment, and anger. John Dear, SJ is a Jesuit priest, activist, organizer, lecturer, and retreat leader. He is also the author/editor of twenty books on peace and nonviolence. Dear has been nominated for the 2008 Nobel Peace Prize by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. John Dear’s new book will be available at Rediscovered Bookshop, 7079 Overland Rd , Boise , (phone: 376-4229). .
