Meet longtime activist, author, teacher and Catholic priest the Rev. John Dear, who will be visiting Trinity on his national book tour. During these times of warfare, gun violence, racism, poverty, and climate change, John Dear has much to say in his new book, The Gospel of Peace, which is a commentary on the Gospels from the perspective of nonviolence. Dear’s Jesus is like Gandhi and Dr. King–nonviolent to the core, a disarming healing presence toward those in need, and a revolutionary disrupter of the unjust status quo. Prepare to be stirred up and inspired! Suggested donation: $20. Books will be available for sale for an additional $20. Cash, check, and credit card accepted at the door.

The Program Group on Black Ministries and the H. Belfield Hannibal Chapter of the Union of Black Episcopalians invite the diocesan community to this event, which will begin with Eucharist and end with a seafood gumbo and peach cobbler dinner reception.
