“Jesus’ Plan for a New World,
The Sermon on the Mount”
Part Two
By Richard Rohr
Continues through August
Richard Rohr, an internationally known author and spiritual teacher, is a Franciscan of the New Mexico province and founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation. He considers the proclamation of the Gospel to be his primary call. He is the author of “Everything Belongs”; and his latest book “The Naked Now: Learning to See as the Mystics See” among others Rohr and John Bookser Feister explore the Gospel According to Matthew and delve into the Sermon on the Mount, considered the blueprint of the Christian life-style. They emerge with a clearer understanding of the Nazorean rabbi who preached it and the Gospel writers, especially Matthew, who passed it on to us. This book is as much about getting ready to hear the Sermon as it is about the Sermon itself. The study will last approximately 10 weeks. Books will be available in the Church office. For more information: contact the Church Office at 783-2511.
