Exploring Our Truth Through Books, March 20

As Unitarian Universalists, many of us are interested in exploring ideas from our own diverse spiritual tradition and writings from practioners of other faiths that might assist our free and responsible search for truth and meaning.  It also seems like many of us have a huge stack (or list) of these books that we want to read, but haven’t gotten around to finishing.

What will motivate us?  A deadline!

Join us Saturday, Mar. 20 for an exploration of the ideas in F. Forrest Church's The Cathedral of the World: A Universalist Theology.  Read as much of the book as possible before March 20 and make mental and/or physical notes about the thoughts it inspires.  We will have our discussion over a potluck dinner from 4:00 to 7:30 pm.  Register online here or download and print a registration form here. Be sure to let us know whether you'd like to bring an appetizer, main dish, drink, or dessert.  We'll gather for food, fellowship, and a guided opportunity to explore the content of this theology and how it relates to our own personal theologies. Bring your potluck offering, your thoughts/notes/responses, and a clear head for discussion.

This is part of what we hope will be an ongoing series of spiritual book explorations, beginning with this one from our own religious tradition.  If you can’t make this date or have questions, please let discussion leader, Whitney Novak know of your interest in the program and any titles you’d like to throw in for consideration.  Ideally responsibility for planning discussion questions and activities will be shared amongst participants. Let Whitney know if you would like to be a co-planner.
