The Rev. James Ishmael Ford, preaching; Judith Martin-Straw, worship associate. UU minister and Zen teacher James Ford will be visiting us once again. These days he finds himself thinking about the spiritual life, and what it means in hard times. In particular, he finds himself thinking of the current assaults on civil liberties, especially the scapegoating of the Trans community and immigrants. But also he's mindful of Pentecost, that moment when tongues of fire rest on hearts, transforming lives. Today he touches on his reflections in his new book, Zen at the End of Religion, to find some pointers for all of us. Join us in-person or online.

Topic: At times during our lives we can feel that we are juggling many balls. When in your life was this most true for you? It helps if we can see that some of these are glass balls and some are rubber balls and that we can risk dropping the rubber balls. Were you able to distinguish between these when you felt overburdened? |
