Fall 2008 Retreat - The Ancient Path
A small band of devoted followers living on the margins of a brutal empire - start a movement that grows to 20 million in 300 years. A movement that continues to this day with 4 billion adherents in every corner of the world. How did they do it, and more importantly, how does it continue through us?
