Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life

Kathy Bowman and Ellen Kelley will co-facilitate a class called Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life on Thursdays, March 29, April 5, 12 and 19 at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation. The class will be based on the book of that title by Karen Armstrong, one of the most original thinkers on the role of religion in the modern world. Her book is a practical one that can help people to make the world a more compassionate place. Ms. Armstrong suggests how to put compassion into every action. The class will use readings, a mini-lecture, a guided meditation, and a time for discussion. Participants are asked to obtain a copy of the book prior to the first session.  The class, which is open to the public, will begin at 7 pm in the Congregation hall, 3707 Eastern Ave., Davenport.  For more information, contact the church at 563 359 0816.
