The Time Is Now: A Call to Uncommon Courage | Joan Chittister

so-so

The information is organized in a logical way. It lacks the inspirational tone I expected. It feels more like a check list.

Suet624 That‘s too bad. 1mo

First op shop visit yesterday. I was heading to Cardiff to visit Dance Boutique for the required theatrical pink tights so I‘m allowed to dance in the Sydney Eisteddfod this weekend! It‘s near 3 op shops so of course I took advantage of that.

Since My Last Confession: A Gay Catholic Memoir | Scott Pomfret

pick

The author's account of how as an adult his Catholicism re-asserted itself and what that meant as the Church hierarchy threw itself into the fight against even secular civil gay marriage in the mid 2000s. ⬇

rwmg In the beginning I thought the author was trying a bit too hard to be witty but once he settled down, this became an interesting and readable account of a tumultuous time. The book dates from 2008 and it does show sometimes with its cultural references to celebs I'd forgotten about if indeed I was ever aware of them. I would read another edition with a retrospective afterword as a properly edited ebook - this one had far too many OCR mistakes. 3mo

Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion | Greg Boyle

A good friend gave me this book, it‘s very much not what I usually read. But I‘m glad I did. There are no easy fixes or answers. Boyle asks only that we have compassion for our fellow humans.

“The strategy of Jesus is not centered in taking the right stand on issues, but rather in standing in the right place-with the outcast and those relegated to the margins.”

Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion | Gregory Boyle

#whereReyoumonday

Reading very much out of my comfort zone, I‘m in East Los Angeles in the current century with Pastor Gregory Boyle and the congregants and residents of the area in this nonfiction account of Boyle‘s outreach efforts.

BarbaraJean Ohhh, I want to read this! Greg Boyle has been referenced a LOT in my spiritual direction studies this year. 3mo

Ruthiella @BarbaraJean I think you will get a lot out of it given your interests. I appreciate what Boyle is saying a lot about humanity. (edited) 3mo

Ruthiella @Deblovestoread Glad to hear it! 😃 3mo

Christine I have to get to this one. I‘m just finishing a semester of teaching incarcerated folks, many of whom grew up in SoCal gang life. They are remarkably thoughtful and diligent students. I wish they‘d met Boyle and been offered a different path. 3mo

Ruthiella @Christine That‘s wonderful that you are teaching people who are incarcerated. Education is such a game changer. One of the things Boyle underscores in this book is that it‘s never too late to change one‘s path. 3mo
