Welcome to Reading Henri:
Reflect, Connect, Grow
An Online Spiritual exploration of
The Wounded Healer: Ministry in Contemporary Society
Join us this June for Reading Henri: Reflect, Connect, Grow, a three-week online book club centered on Henri Nouwen’s deeply personal and powerful spiritual classic, The Wounded Healer.
We will gather on June 8, 15 and 22 at 7:00 PM Eastern on Zoom for thoughtful conversation, shared reflection, and meaningful connection.
The Wounded Healer is hope-filled and profoundly simple book that speaks directly to those who want to be of service in their church or community, but have found the traditional ways often threatening and ineffective.
In this book, Henri Nouwen combines creative case studies of ministry with stories from diverse cultures and religious traditions in preparing a new model for ministry. Weaving keen cultural analysis with his psychological and religious insights, Nouwen has come up with a balanced and creative theology of service that begins with the realization of fundamental woundedness in human nature. Emphasizing that which is in humanity common to both minister and believer, this woundedness can serve as a source of strength and healing when counseling others.
Filled with examples from everyday experience, The Wounded Healer is a thoughtful and insightful guide that will be welcomed by anyone engaged in the service of others.
Come ready to reflect.Come ready to connect.Come ready to grow.
