Healing the Soul of America: Reclaiming our Voices as Spiritual Citizens
Berea College welcomes the public and campus community to this week’s convocation featuring spiritual teacher and author Marianne Williamson. In this convocation, Williamson will call on Bereans to turn the passion that is in their hearts into a powerful force for social good. This Convocation is co-sponsored with Women’s and Gender Studies.
Williamson, a native of Houston Texas, has authored twelve published books, with seven that appeared on the New York Times best sellers, of which four reached number one. Williamson is a popular guest on talk shows such as Oprah, Larry King Live, Good Morning America, Charlie Rose & Bill Maher. In 1989, Williamson founded Project Angel Food, an organization that, to date, has served over ten million meals to homebound people with AIDS in the Los Angeles area. Williamson has also co-founded the Peace Alliance, and serves on the Board of Directors of the RESULTS organization, working to end hunger and poverty throughout the world.
The convocation events, which are provided to both the campus and public communities, are a significant part of a student’s educational experience at Berea College.
