April
Services
Sundays 10:30 am You can join our services in person at the meetinghouse or via Zoom. April 14: “The Tao of Heraclitus” The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus (5th century BCE) developed a world-view based on the unity of opposites that bears some striking similarities' to the teachings of the Chinese philosophers Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu, along with some signifcant contrasts. We will seek inspiration from their ideas. Service coordinated by Mark Mitsock April 21: “Climate Change: A View from Nicaragua” Speaker: Chris Schweitzer A recent trip to Nicaragua reminded me of the vulnerability of the rural villages where New Haven Leon Sister City Project works, and also how impactful a climate justice movement in the US could be in supporting local Nicaraguan led efforts to make their homes/communities more resilient. Coordinated by Ben Ross April 28: “Spirits in the Material World” As we explore the nature of existence in our day to day lives, our minds mythologize to understand things that may take on more meaning then at first glance. From the mundane to the cosmic we create spirits from experience in the material world. This may be seen across cultures but also upon closer inspection in our daily lives. Bring your favorite creative spirits & myths that you have created or adopted and let's consider how we all may have different ways of looking at things. Coordinated by Owen Charles . |
