Listening is a Spiritual Thing

On May 3rd, we will welcome Mary Darling, Associate Professor of Communication, to our last SAPA meeting of the year. Mary will share thoughts about listening from her latest book, Connecting Like Jesus, which she co-authored with well-known communicator, Tony Campolo. Something you may not know:  Connecting Like Jesus was a required text in the COR 100 sections this year.  A few quotes from the book to get you thinking...

"We can learn to 'listen in the moment' no matter what is going on in our lives."

 "Jesus listened, not for what he needed to hear, but for what others needed to   say and have him hear."

"When we listen to the deepest needs and concerns of another's soul, we affirm his or her very personhood."

A copy of Connecting Like Jesus, courtesy of Shar Fortress in the Bookstore, will be given away during the meeting.

    It will be a great meeting! We used Mary's book in my COR100 class this fall and it led to many discoveries and ideas to ponder...
