SUMMARY:Prophetic Voices Series-Niebuhr
DESCRIPTION:An American Conscience: The Reinhold Niebuhr Story\nSunday\, November 13\n3-5 pm\nHybrid Event: Room 101\, First Community North\nand on Zoom\nReinhold Niebuhr is probably best known as the author of The Serenity Prayer\, but during his time in the middle of the 20th century\, his impact was much greater\, as this documentary demonstrates. \nPresidents and civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, often turned to Niebuhr’s writings on Christianity and public life\, social justice\, and politics. Though an academic\, he was an admired public theologian in the United States. \n“Man’s capacity for justice makes democracy possible\,” Niebuhr wrote in 1944\, “but man’s inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary\,” as quoted in Jon Meacham’s The Soul of America. Just one example of his public pronouncements and influence among politicians and the public. \nInterviewees in this documentary include Jimmy Carter\, Andrew Young\, David Brooks\, Cornel West\, Susannah Heschel (daughter of one other voice in this series\, Abraham Joshua Heschel)\, and other notable historians and theologians. \nRev. Jim Long\, Minister Emeritus of Pastoral Care\, and a Niebuhr expert\, leads the discussion after this hour-long video. \nRegister HERE.

SUMMARY:Days of Awe for the World - A Journey of Teshuvah/Return and Tikkun/Repair with Rabbi Rami
DESCRIPTION:Rabbi Rami Shapiro was our 2022 Spiritual Searcher Speaker.  We welcomed him to Columbus on August 26th through 28th\, 2022.  During his visit\, Rabbi Rami invited our community to join him in the Days of Awe for the World event series.  This is a wonderful way to follow up with Rabbi Rami’s work.  This event is organized and run by Rabbi Rami’s organization\, One River Foundation.  We wanted to share it with you here. \n———————————————————–\nRabbi Rami Shapiro and Frank Levy invite you to join them for One River Foundation’s 3rd Annual Days of Awe for the World – A Journey of Teshuvah/Return and Tikkun/Repair September 25 through October 5\, 2022 – 1 Tishrei 5783 through 10 Tishrei in the Hebrew calendar.\n\nThe Days of Awe from Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur (September 25 through October 5 this year) are the most sacred and important days of the Jewish liturgical year. They are a time for deep introspection\, contemplation\, and transformation around two themes teshuvah – returning to our true nature as a manifesting of the Divine and tikkun – repairing the world with justice and compassion\, by being a blessing to all the families of the earth (Genesis 12:3).\nOne River Foundation’s Days of Awe for the World: A Journey of Teshuvah and Tikkun is an innovative\, multimedia\, multi-day\, interactive opportunity for people of all faiths and no faith to experience the power and beauty of this yearly period of deep introspection\, contemplation\, and transformation. \nDays of Awe for the World includes pre-recorded meditations for Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur and a liturgical journal which draw on traditional Jewish readings\, prayers\, and cantorial chanting\, pre-recorded meditations on the Thirteen Attributes of Godliness emailed to you each morning between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur\, as well as live Zoom study sessions on Rosh HaShanah\, and Yom Kippur afternoon.\nThis year’s Zoom study sessions will explore the Jewish themes and texts in the music of Nobel Laureate\, Bob Dylan (Robert Zimmerman) (Rosh HaShanah) and the “Jewish bard” Leonard Cohen (Yom Kippur). While Days of Awe for the World: A Journey of Teshuvah and Tikkun draws on Jewish tradition\, its message and call are for everyone\, and One River Foundation invites you to join them on this journey of teshuvah – return\, and tikkun – repair.\nWhile registration is free\, One River Foundation hopes you will consider making a tax-deductible donation of $36.00 or more to One River Foundation to help support their work.  To register for Days of Awe for the World: A Journey of Teshuvah and Tikkun go to: https://tinyurl.com/mrx8cmut

SUMMARY:Clergy Conversations:  Rev. Glen Miles interviews Pastor Philip Gulley
DESCRIPTION:Monday September 12\n7-8 pm\non Zoom\nHour-long Zoom interviews with people selected by our First Community clergy. \nJoin us as Rev. Glen Miles kicks off a new event series for us!  Clergy Conversations will be a series of 5 events throughout the year when each of the five First Community clergy members will get to interview someone via Zoom who inspires them.  Rev. Glen Miles will be interviewing Philip Gulley to start off the series! \nABOUT PHILIP GULLEY: \nPhilip Gulley is a Quaker pastor\, writer\, and speaker from Danville\, Indiana.  Gulley has written 22 books\, including the Harmony series recounting life in the eccentric Quaker community of Harmony\, Indiana and the best-selling Porch Talk essay series.  Gulley’s memoir\, I Love You\, Miss Huddleston: And Other Inappropriate Longings of My Indiana Childhood\, was a finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor.  In addition\, Gulley\, with co-author James Mulholland\, shared their progressive spirituality in the books If Grace Is True and If God Is Love\, followed by Gulley’s books If the Church Were Christian and The Evolution of Faith. \nIn  Living the Quaker Way: Timeless Wisdom For a Better Life Today\, Gulley offers the opportunity to participate in a world where the values of the Quaker way bring equity\, peace\, healing\, and hope.  Living the Quaker Way invites readers to encounter the defining commitments of the Religious Society of Friends–simplicity\, peace\, integrity\, community and equality\, and shows how those ideals can be incorporated in personal and public life to bring renewal and eliminate the clutter that is keeping us from deeper spirituality. \nIn his most recently published work of non-fiction\, Unlearning God: How Unbelieving Helped Me Believe\, Gulley describes the process of spiritual growth\, especially the re-interpretation of the earliest principles we learned about God.  Gulley teaches the reader to let go\, or unlearn these burdensome obstacles in their faith so that they can forge a more authentic relationship with God. \n  \nREGISTER HERE
