Central Happenings

Central Congregational Church is hosting an evening with

Fr. John Dear on his new book ‘The Gospel of Peace’

on May 9, 2024, at 7:00pm

at 14 Titcomb St, Newburyport MA.

Peacemaker, author, and Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, Father John Dear, will be at Central Congregational Church on May 9, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. to talk about and sign copies of his new book, his life's work: The Gospel of Peace: A Commentary on Matthew, Mark, and Luke from the Perspective of Nonviolence. It is the first ever commentary on the Synoptic Gospels from the perspective of active nonviolence in the tradition of Gandhi and Dr. King. In this original work, Fr. John walks us through every line of the three synoptic Gospels pointing out Jesus' practice and teachings on nonviolence, peace, and universal love and invites us to follow him. Copies of the book are available for advance sale at the Central Church office and will be available at the event. Join us!
