1/28/24 Lessons in Compassion

Led by Rev. Dr. Kharma Amos

No exploration of Love, especially the liberating kind, is complete without an explicit focus on the form of love we call compassion.  This weekend is International Holocaust Memorial Day, when people around the world will be remembering one of the most tragic times in modern human history.  Our reflections will doubtlessly be impacted by the current reality of wars and undeniable human suffering, particularly in Gaza and Israel.  Compassion lies at the root of most religious traditions, and has lessons to teach us that are as applicable in this global situation as they are in tiny disputes between family members or the daily challenges we face to be kind to the annoying.  Let’s think about it together.
