The Rothko Chapel and the Magdalen Community present a series of reflections and dialogues on compassion throughout the month of June. The Reverend Betty Adam, Resident Canon Theologian of Christ Church Cathedral and representative of the Magdalen Community, will facilitate the series of special programs. Reflections will be held June 6, 13, 20 and 27 at 10 a.m., and dialogues about compassion will be June 9, 16, and 23 at 12 noon.
