Unique Opportunities
A variety of possible programs related to Boundless Compassion themes can be scheduled.
Boundless Compassion Book Study
Group gatherings enrich the experience of reading Boundless Compassion: Creating a Way of Life by Joyce Rupp, as group members benefit from one another’s insights and share in a common cause. Participants are asked to set aside time to read and reflect on each day’s content. Six weekly gatherings correspond with the six themes in the book: Compassion as a Way of Life, Welcoming Ourselves, The River of Suffering, From Hostility to Hospitality, A Thousand Unbreakable Links, and Becoming a Compassionate Presence. At weekly gatherings, group members discuss the Day 7 questions for each theme.
To arrange a book club, please contact Sr. Bobbi Bussan at bbussan@boundlesscompassion.org
