"Chosen, Blessed, Broken and Given:" Henri Nouwen on Our Life as the Beloved

With Nouwen as our inspiration, we will explore together the profound dynamics of our spiritual life as God’s beloved---chosen and blessed before the foundation of the world while at the same present time representing a life that is broken and given as bread for others. Through a combination of guided teaching, personal reflection and communal interaction, we hope to imbibe in us what it truly means to be, to become, and to live our life as the Beloved amidst our increasingly challenging world.
