Listening to the Beatitudes

“…BLESSESD ARE THE PEACEMAKERS…”

To us, the nine BEATITUDES may seem like riddles in a foreign language, or impossibly idealistic. But they can be powerful pointers for the re-orientation, for connecting with the activity of the Christ in these dark-seeming times.

In this talk and conversation, we’ll ask: How do we put these into practice? We’ll start on a psychological or soul level, rather than with a more traditional religious language. Please read Matthew 5:1-11 beforehand.
