DAY OF REFLECTION
ONE WORLD- ONE FAMILY
The Practice of Non- Violence
Ahimsa & Satyagraha
‘The reality today is that we are all
interdependent and have to co-exist on this small planet. Therefore, the only
sensible and intelligent way of resolving differences and clashes of interests,
whether between individuals or nations, is through dialogue. ( Dalai Lama)
Sat 16th January 2016 ( 10.30 - 4.30 )
Friends Meeting House Wolverhampton
FURTHER DETAILS
We live in times of rapid changes. There is
an explosion of technology and knowledge
with consequential challenges to old certainties and ideas. It is often
referred to as a post-religious era where increasingly many question authority
, religions , political systems etc. The danger is that we can 'throw out the baby
with the bath water'. How can we retain the essence of both
Ancient and Modern Wisdom and use
this to face the challenges of our
Modern Times?
This Day of Reflection will provide an
opportunity to look at the power of
adopting a Non- Violent approach to the challenges facing our human family. We
will have both video and other input famous exemplars of Non- Violence
e.g. from Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther
King Jnr, Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela. There will be time for Personal Reflection and
Sharing
