Winter 2011
Last updated on 7th November, 2011
We’ve started the new session with two very different but equally interesting topics. In September, John Stevenson led the group in a discussion: ’Progressive Christianity – What’s it all about?’ and reminded us that we are standing on the shoulders of theologians in the 19th century who were already challenging received teaching. Much food for thought!
In October, our facilitator was Robin Shohet, a Jewish psychotherapist, who helped us to focus on the ways in which we create ‘otherness’ as a way of protecting our ego. He underlined the qualities common to humanity – fear, need to be loved, need for meaning etc, and stressed the aim of growing towards unconditional love, as being closest to the example set by Jesus….
Future meetings are:
21st Nov – Two of our members, Anthea Griggs and George Smart, will be in dialogue about the difficult topic of ‘Prayer’
5th Dec – ‘Sparks for the journey’. (Please bring your favourite saying/quotation) 2nd hour –Wine and mince pies!
30th Jan – The Golden Rule and the Charter for Compassion, led by George Haskell
27th Feb – A conversation Dinner with invited guests
26th March – ‘What is Spirituality?’ An in-house discussion.
All are – as always – welcome at the Cluny Centre on Braid Road from 7.30 until 9.30. Coffee from 7.15….
