August 3 “Making a World a Better Place?”
Rev. Ernest L. Mills, Jr.
Joseph Campbell describes certain religions as being “world correcting”. Such religions foster zeal to make the world a better place, which is a euphemism for "correcting" it to fit a prescribed ideal. We will examine our zeal and our need for enlightenment.
August 10 “The ABCs of Spiritual Nutrition ”
Rev. Don Burger
A community, like an individual, has a mind, body and spirit. Like our own physical bodies, it also needs a diet rich in “vitamins ”. This service will offer a model and definition of these nutrients, and describe a practical, adaptable plan that can enrich our lives and our neighbors' lives as well.
August 17 “Trust Your Own Truth ”
Rev. Ernest L. Mills, Jr.
There have always been authority figures telling us how to live, what to believe, what is true. The last thing they will tell you is that you should learn to trust your own truth. We have to re-educate ourselves and get back to what the best teachers (Jeremiah, Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tse, and others) have taught us - to trust our own truth. August 24 “The Messages of Hinduism”
Dr. Ben Zeller
Hinduism is the world's third largest religion, and one of the most ancient. It is also an extremely diverse religion. We will examine the messages offered by this diverse and multifaceted faith. August 31 “The Biblical J's”
Rev. Ernest L. Mills, Jr.
We will examine the meaning of psychological archetypes and their formation in the lives of figures like Joseph (family betrayal), Jacob (arrested development), Jonah (depression), Jesus (savior complex), and Judas (the need for forgiveness). Our approach will be literary, not literal. |
