Uncovering Seeds of Faith: A New Approach to an Old Story
A four-part series beginning on February 7 from 4:00 - 5:30 pm led by Rev. Marcia Heeter and Peter Slonek. For too long the West has mined the religions of the Middle East and adapted them to our Western ways of thinking. In the process we have lost some ways of connecting to the life-giving spirit of the seeds of our faith. We will focus on the philosophy and teachings of Neil Douglas-Klotz including spiritual practices and Dances of Universal Peace. Mr. Douglas-Klotz has made it his life's mission to re-establish these lost connections and put us on a path of understanding and peaceful religious coexistence. (Series continues on Sunday March 21, May 2 & June 6).
