A Healed Heart, a Racially Reconciled Heart: A Weekend Retreat back
February 27 - March 1, 2015
Theme: A HEALED HEART, A RACIALLY RECONCILED HEART. Join us in the silence, in the stillness as witnesses to Christ’s inner heart healing in sacred space with a like-minded community. We are comforted by Ephesians 2:14, “For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility.” In the silence, we open ourselves to breaking down the walls of privilege, power and post traumatic slave syndrome. In the silence, we reconcile our broken hearts to the inner light of God and relax into the peace of Christ as our covering of justice, forgiveness and grace.
Leader: Rev. Carolyn Boyd, minister, author, activist, talk show host, inspirational speaker, facilitator.
For Friends of Jesus Church. Others welcome as space permits.
Weekend retreats run Friday dinner through Sunday lunch. The silence begins Friday night after dinner when the leader opens the retreat and introduces the theme. The leader usually offers brief reflections with morning and evening prayers on Saturday. The silence ends after breakfast Sunday morning with a time of sharing and worship, followed by lunch and departure.
