Our class continues this Sunday (19 April 2015) at 9:30 AM with discussions of The Good Heart:  A Buddhist Perspective on the Teachings of Jesus by the Dalai Lama.

We will read and reflect on Matthew 5: 38-48 following the Dalai Lama’s advice to take time for our own reflections on the passage before “reflecting on someone else reflecting on someone else.”

We will then take time to talk about the Dalai Lama’s comments and how they affected your own perspective.

We have ten more copies of the book available at the church this week and we can order more as needed.

Read the introductory sections and the chapter on this passage of Matthew for this Sunday’s class.

PS — You are still very welcome to the class if you don’t have the book and didn’t do this reading.

 

There will be no adult religious education classes on Easter Sunday (5 April 2015).

On the Sunday after Easter (12 April 2015), we will begin our discussion of The Good Heart: A Buddhist Perspective on the Teachings of Jesus by the Dalai Lama.  The church will be ordering ten copies this week and will order more copies upon request.

Please join us on Sunday (15 March 2015) at 9:30 AM for our adult religious education class.

We will conclude our study of Nature’s God: The Heretical Origins of the American Republic by Matthew Stewart

Stewart has written a compelling history of the founding of our nation that includes quite a few stories your teacher never told you and is also a history of ideas that shaped our nation.

It serves to refute a frequent claim heard nowadays that our nation was founded as a “Christian nation.”

This Sunday we finish our discussion of Chapter 7 — “The Empire of Reason.”

You are welcome to join the class at any time, whether or not you are reading the book.  If you choose to order either the hard copy or Kindle version through Amazon, please remember to go through the Amazon window on the All Souls website.

Next Sunday (22 March 2015), we will begin our discussion of The Good Heart: A Buddhist Perspective on the Teachings of Jesus by the Dalai Lama.  The church will be ordering ten copies this week and will order more copies upon request.
