SUMMARY:Thursday at Ten: Spiritual Explorations
DESCRIPTION:Thursday at 10\n\nEvery Thursday \n10-11:30 am \non Zoom \nThursday’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. \nWith 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. \nOur 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! \nFacilitated by Connie Johnston. \nAny Question\, please email Jen Bratka\, Spiritual Life & Learning Center\, Program Administrator \n\nPlease register HERE to receive the Zoom Link.

SUMMARY:Leaning In: Being Heard Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, November 17\, 2024\n2-5 PM\nFirst Community North – Grace Hall\nMore Information and Registration\nCan Be Found HERE\n\n\n\n\nLet’s gather and share our reactions to the November election in small groups facilitated by experienced spiritual directors. Prepare to be heard. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese 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. \nWhile 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. \nThe 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.
