The
natural world is the larger sacred community to which we belong.
To
be alienated from this community is to become destitute in all that makes us
human.
To
damage this community is to diminish our own existence.
( Thomas Berry

Updating our Cosmology updates our
Theology.
We are part of an ever expanding Cosmos that is 13.8 billion years old. We too are evolving and many people believe that we are currently facing an evolution in consciousness. Change always is accompanied by challenge and one natural response to challenge is resistance. This resistance can take many forms, one of which is violence.
Consequently, the Spiritual Traveller, needs to pause and reflect on the changes and challenges facing us in this current era of change. With this in mind,
The Satsang Association
Host and Present
A
DAY OF REFLECTION
|
Friends Meeting House, Summerfield
Road
Wolverhampton
"The realization that we know very
little about the universe grows as we experience the presence of God ( Source) everywhere. ... That divine presence enables
us to forget ourselves and enter into collaboration with the creation of the
universe. Apparently, we have been given an enormous capacity to affect
it. We are accountable for everyone else in the human family and for all
living things. For all practical purposes, how we treat other people is
what we are doing to ourselves.“ Thomas Keating 2015
This Day of Reflection will provide an
opportunity to look at several major problems and challenges facing our human family. It will be an
opportunity to take time to ' Sit by
the Wayside' and reflect on the
spiritual implications of being co-creators in this vast, evolutionary and ever-expanding Cosmos.
There will be time for silence and personal reflection.
THIS IS AN OPEN EVENT - ALL ARE WELCOME
PLEASE BRING A PACKED LUNCH
