Seeing Religion(s) in 3D – Part 5: Same But Different

29 minutes

Hmmm…maybe this title should say “part 1”, because this particular portion of our exploration is very much in two segments. How about “part a”? Yeah, I like that. Also, it’ll make the series seem shorter, which for some reason feels important to me. So, in “part a”, we’ll consider how at the heart of most religions there are significant commonalities. In “part b” (next week), we’ll explore some ways to consider the differences. Along the way, we’ll touch on how God ended up so very angry in some versions of Christainty- a sad but potentially helpful side excursion from the main path we’ll be travelling.

I’ll see you online here at 10:45 a.m. on Sunday for some music and Community Time, followed by the Talky Bit and “And Lunch After”. Also, there will be a Wednesday Evening Zoom Hang this week at 7:45 p.m. URL’s for both of those will be at the end of this email.

Next week will be an in-person gathering. I’m so looking forward to that! I’ll put the details in next week’s blurb.

I feel like I’m hearing/having a lot of conversations about how varied people’s experiences of being “out in the world” are impacting them; everything from euphoria to full-blown anxiety attacks. I’m hoping that a bit of lead time might help us all to prepare to be in a shared space with this community again in an ongoing way. It’s where we’re headed, so let’s remember to be kind to one another along the way. This isn’t going to automatically feel “good” to everyone. Also, we’ll continue to livestream for those that are not in the room.

In the meantime, I’ll see you online on Sunday.

Peace,

Tim Plett
