A decade of Lifelong Learning Presentations

Presented by Richard LeSueur

Date: Monday, February 8th

Time: 2 p.m. via Zoom (check in starts at 1:45)

Let’s take an ancient story of another time when people struggled through a threatening calamity. They had to survive. Not everyone made it. But they found in their shared experience meaning and hope in a strange landscape. That changed them all. The account of their experience at a “plain of waiting” poses an interesting set of parallels for our present lived experience. Perhaps revisiting this “backdrop” might breathe some meaning and hope into our own reflections about this time.

Richard LeSueur has served as the Director of the Desert Program with St. George’s College in Jerusalem. Over the years he has facilitated more than fifty excursions into the deserts of the Middle East. Now as a resident of Canmore he is pleased to bring some of this story into this landscape on the edge of another great wilderness.
