The idea of patience, as we know it today, has been heavily influenced by Christianity, says Jeff Bullock, an experienced teacher and author of an upcoming book on Christian patience.
In this class, Jeff makes it clear that there is a difference between Christian patience and secular patience. The latter is self-interested, the former is other-focused.
This is a fascinating and thought-provoking course for those who are interested in learning more about patience as well as developing it in their own lives.
Jeff is the author of Practicing Christian Patience.

A Hidden Wholeness: Living an Undivided Life as a Spiritual Leader (Metropolitan Community Churches)
Participants will learn the ways in which the journey from childhood to adulthood often results in leading a life that is disconnected from our true self or soul.
