Fr. Michael Lapsley will speak on November 15 at 7:30 pm at St. Paul's-on-the-Hill Episcopal Church, 40 Ganung Drive, Ossining, NY 10562-3936(914) 941-6627 . All are welcome.
I've received a note from Lisa Rosenbloom, who writes:
Bob and I had the privilege to meet Michael Lapsley at the Institute for the Healing of Memories when we were in Cape Town last year. He is truly a remarkable man and an international leader in addressing the "post traumatic" stress of ordinarily people who have survived great injustice - in South Africa, Rwanda and elsewhere. By coincidence, he is living at Maryknoll for awhile and is going to be speaking at St. Paul's, Ossisning, on Nov. 15 at 7:30.
Lapsley is an Episcopal priest whose own road to recovery, from a South African security forces-inspired package bomb, was clearly informed by his own belief system, but his project is a secular one. He is a friend of Bishop Desmond Tutu, has been praised by Nelson Mandela and is linked on Wikipedia to Albie Sax, another leading light of the anti-apartheid movement.
LIsa further writes, "He's very much worth the effort [of coming to hear him.]"
