We are pleased to announce a summer book discussion on Henri Nouwen’s Can You Drink the Cup? which will begin June 29th, facilitated by Ray Glennon. There is no need to register for this discussion; simply return here during the week of June 29th. Ray will welcome you with an invitation to post a brief introduction of yourself if you wish to share – there is no requirement to do so. The following Sunday (July 6th) Ray will begin a weekly posting of questions for reflection. Participate in any way that is nourishing for you – there is no requirement to ‘accomplish’ anything. You may feel moved to share your reflections or you may prefer to keep a journal during this time or reflect in solitude. Come and see!
RAY GLENNON actively volunteers in his parish Confirmation and adult faith formation programs. He and his wife are members of a Catholic charismatic community where he also chairs the school board. Ray is an experienced group facilitator and throughout the summer book discussion he will work to create a safe and welcoming space that provides the opportunity for participants to reflect on the readings, and to share thoughts and encouragement with others.
Ray first became familiar with Henri’s work over 20 years ago. He came to know and trust in Henri’s written word in a special way in 2004 when he found The Return of the Prodigal Son for sale after Mass at the cathedral in Singapore at an important point in his life. Since 2010 Ray has been an active participant in nine of our Nouwen book discussions led by our regular facilitator Brynn Lawrence. Brynn will rejoin us for the Advent book discussion. In her absence, Ray has agreed to facilitate our discussion this summer. If you have any questions for Ray, please contact him directly at ray.glennon@1972.usna.com and you can follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/@RayGlennon.

We look forward to hearing from our old friends, and welcoming new ones! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at admin@henrinouwen.org
