This experience will offer an introduction to contemplative practice for active (or sometimes hyperactive) clergy that we can continue to take up in our own lives and ministry. This is not just a retreat dealing with theological ideas that clergy could read about in books. This is going to be experiential and conversational.
Dr. Ruben L.F. Habito, Facilitator - Dr. Habito served as a Jesuit missionary and teacher in Japan and came to Dallas in 1989. He teaches world religions and spirituality at Perkins School of Theology, SMC. He is also an author.
