Sunday Celebrations at Pebble Hill Interfaith Church

WRESTLING WITH GOD WITH TOM LEGERE

Our guest speaker on Sunday, September 14, Dr. Tom Legere, is well known to many of us. Ordained a priest at the Vatican in 1969, Tom was an author, a television and radio presenter, a retreat leader on three continents, and, upon leaving Church ministry in 1992, a professor at six different universities. In 2014, he was awarded a lifetime achievement award in teaching at Fordham University. However, his two favorite things that he has done is to be on the faculty of the School of Sacred Ministries at Pebble Hill Church for every class, and also to have been a dancer on American Bandstand!
The theme of Tom’s talk comes from the Biblical episode of Jacob wrestling with God throughout an entire night and living to tell about it.
During our time together, our old friend Tom will share some of the details of his own personal "mano a mano" with "God", since several people have asked him to do so. He realizes that this was only his journey, and that some of the details will inevitably be different than your personal journey, but that the Hero’s journey seems to be quite similar across religions and across no religions.
If Moses, the Buddha, Jesus and Mohammed all had to duke it out with "God", why should we be any exception?
Ultimately, that which is most personal is most universal.
