A Bowl of Perfect Light: Stories of Forgiveness, Reconciliation, and Repairing the World invites readers to reflect deeply on the transformative power of forgiveness. Through compelling narratives and profound insights, the book explores the call to forgive, the courage to seek forgiveness, and the hope of restoring what has been broken in our lives, our communities, and our world. These stories illuminate how acts of reconciliation can heal wounds, bridge divides, and create spaces for renewal and peace.
McKenna draws on her experience of working in restorative justice. This includes the impact of colonization on First Peoples and the Catholic Church's sexual abuse crisis. Though rooted firmly in Catholic tradition, she also integrates Jewish Midrash, Indigenous, and other stories into everyday life experience. She shares creative metaphors for light, emphasizing the need for ongoing and necessary restoration of relationships and, where possible, forgiveness.
We are delighted to share that Megan McKenna herself will be joining us for all four sessions! This is a rare opportunity to engage directly with the author, hear her insights, and share your reflections in conversation with her.
