Falling Upward
Falling Upward by Richard Rohr
Zoom (Noon time) study – Monday May 10th – June 14th (break on Memorial Day, May 31st)
In Falling Upward, Father Richard Rohr--the founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation--offers a new paradigm for understanding one of the most profound of life’s mysteries: how our failings can be the foundation for our ongoing spiritual growth. Drawing on the wisdom from time-honored myths, heroic poems, great thinkers, and religious texts, the author explores the two halves of life to show that those who have fallen, failed, or “gone down” are the only ones who understand “up.” Rohr takes you on a journey to understand how the heartbreaks and disappointments of life are steppingstones to the spiritual joys that the second half of life has in store.
Fairmont UMC is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
