Book Study

Book Study: Forgiveness and Reparation, the Healing Journey

Sundays, February 2 to March 2, 9:00am to 9:45am
Reception Room in Parish House

​

Adult Formation is an important part of Calvary Church. Our adult learning opportunities provide a forum where people can dialogue and be intellectually challenged.  A journey of spiritual growth helps you make sense of God, the world, and our place in it.  Although our Rector leads the discussion, everyone is involved. Book Study explores important contemporary theological works, and a variety of other topics. The group usually reads a new book every four months.

 

About Forgiveness and Reparation, the Healing Journey 

by Mpho Tutu van Furth

We think of reparations as a remunerative act and as a punitive one. This approach assumes there is only one side in need of repair--the side of the subjects who were raped, ravaged, abused, misused, and had their lives and labor stolen. But reparations rightly engaged is part of a spiritual process of forgiveness and reconciliation. Reparations would be an element in a process of atonement and restorative justice that sees the need for acknowledgment of the damage done to the enslaved and colonized, healing and restoration of the lost humanity of the perpetrators, and repair of the violated relationships between the human and ecological victims and the human perpetrators.

Retreats

Adult retreats are a dedicated period of time where individuals can step away from their daily lives to engage in deep reflection, prayer, and fellowship, often focusing on specific themes related to the Christian faith, allowing them to deepen their connection with God and community in a quiet and supportive environment. They typically include elements of silence, meditation, group discussions, and worship services. Retreats can also provide an opportunity to connect with other church members and build deeper relationships.
