“How can we as people of faith reconcile the call to participate in God’s ongoing struggle for justice while not losing our souls to hatred? How can we love our enemies in this time? Scott Black Johnston believes that there is a way to pursue this difficult work and that people of faith can light the way. He encourages us to recommit to our highest principles —our virtues —and to turn hearts poisoned by cynicism into instruments of love.”

Plowshares has selected “Elusive Grace” for the Winter 2024 book read/discussion. The author, Scott Black Johnston, is Senior Pastor of Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City. He’s also a friend of Pen Peery, and accepted Pen’s invitation to join our group via Zoom from 1-1:30 p.m. during our event! We’ll begin after Worship with lunch and table discussion in P212 Frances Browne Dining Room.
