Beginning Thursday, April 18 and continuing until May 9, we welcome Paul Knitter to our Thursday at 10 group to discuss his book Without Buddha, I Could Not be a Christian.
From the publisher, “Without Buddha I could Not be a Christian narrates how esteemed theologian, Paul F. Knitter overcame a crisis of faith by looking to Buddhism for inspiration. From prayer to how Christianity views life after death, Knitter argues that a Buddhist standpoint can encourage a more person-centered conception of Christianity, where individual religious experience comes first, and liturgy and tradition second. Moving and revolutionary, this book will inspire Christians everywhere.”
Please consider purchasing his book from our partner, Serenity Book Shop. Doing so supports a local, independent book store.
Schedule of topics and discussions:

April 18-Nirvana and God (Chapters 1-3)
April 25-Jesus and Buddha (Chapter 5)
May 2-Prayer and Meditation (Chapter 6)
May 9-Making Peace and Being Peace (Chapter 7)

Thursday’s at Ten will once again be meeting beginning Thursday, September 12 on Zoom. Over many years this group has read, viewed, studied, and met with a number of inspiring authors and speakers on a variety of topics. As we explore areas of spirituality and religion as well as current topics such as relating to others, being your authentic self, and being in this world in a kind and understanding way, we hope to inspire each participant through open discussion and dialogue.
With the divisive nature of our country and the upcoming elections, our first book will be I Never Thought of it That Way by Monica Guzman. This book may remind many of us of our session in Faith and America Politics prior to the 2008 Presidential Election, when living our faith while staying true to our values often collided with our understanding of other perspectives.
Our first session will be an intro to the year and setting the stage for our reading of Guzman’s book. We hope you can join us!

Leaning In: November Issues Forum
2024-10-10 18:00 - 20:00
Thursday, October 10
6-8 PM

A facilitated, balanced, faith perspective on the issues on the Ohio ballot. We’ll also cover voting basics so that your vote counts.

These are divisive times. But do they need to be? As people of faith, we can take the lead in engaging with others when we don’t see eye to eye… and doing so with respect and civility.
While we believe in the separation of church and state, we also believe that elections are matters of faith. We can hold both of these truths.
The Interfaith Association of Central Ohio, The Spiritual Life and learning Center and The Spirituality Network are working together to help us prepare for the upcoming November election and learning how to live with the results.
