Book club: Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith, Anne Lamott
Sponsored by Mission and Identity
October23rd, Noon LCS, Piper Hall 210 & October 24th, Noon WTC, Corboy Law Center 727
In Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith, Anne Lamott traces a life path that moves from a childhood of economic privilege and deep loneliness, to the degradation of multiple addictions, to an embrace by the God who pursues her in unexpected ways, despite her fierce resistance. As very much a "work-in-progress," she offers insights that are both humble and wise, laced throughout with a mordant, self-deprecating humor. Fr. Mark Andrews, who will be convening this discussion group, describes her writing as a cross between Kathleen Norris and Quentin Tarantino. Our hope will be to discover what light her experience might shed on our own, perhaps less-vivid, lives. Bring your lunch, dessert and beverages will be provided.

Where are you coming from? Talking about/talking to God – Part 1: While many people associate religious membership or practice with formal doctrines (“catechism”), many people’s sense of God is rooted in (or hindered by) various experiences in their formative years, and the feelings that flow from these experiences. This session will be an opportunity to explore this more intuitive (at times non-rational) aspect of (dis)belief and spiritual desire.

Exploratory Conversations on Talking about/Talking to God with Fr Mark Andrews, S.J.
Sponsored by Mission and Identity
November 8th, 4:00-5:30 pm LSC, Cuneo 410
Where would you like to head? Talking about/talking to God – Part 2: Granting that many people have felt hindered in their spiritual journey by various unhelpful influences, some vital core often remains: not settling for “just trying to be a good person,” but a desire for God that cannot be ignored, try as we might. This evening will provide a space for talking about that desire, to the degree that people feel comfortable in doing so, to hear other people’s experiences, and to reflect upon this phenomenon as (perhaps) an invitation and a shared journey.

Given the frenzied pace of modern life, it is increasingly rare to take the time for self-reflection and spiritual renewal. Yet, everyone needs and deserves the time to connect more deeply with their faith, their spiritual journey, and their relationship with God. Those who have never attended a silent weekend retreat let alone a 30 day Spiritual Exercises Retreat are invited to a day of silence with access to reflection resources and a spiritual director. Cost for meals, lodging and retreat is $75. Contact Chris Murphy for further details, cmurph3@luc.edu
