Awakening Together’s President-Minister, Rhoda Makled and Rev. David Hemphill share from the Tao Te Ching as they contemplate its principles in order to fully embody them.
The Tao Te Ching (The Way), written by Lao-Tzu (Old Teacher), is a guide to enlightened leadership. While most people believe effective leadership lies in knowledge and power, the Tao teaches it lies in emptiness, stillness, and presence.
We are excited to contemplate Regina Dawn Akers’ translation of the Tao Te Ching and invite you to join us as we do so each Sunday.
Two additional versions of the Tao will also be contemplated:
Tao Te Ching by Derek Lin
