Together on the Journey August 2018

Wednesday Night Discussions - Honoring the Body
- 02/19/2020
- All learning happens in the body. All life happens in our bodies. In this session we will be exploring practices related to our body that are welcoming and affirming our true self. From cloths we wear to carefully examining our hands, in this session we will be discussing the daily practices we engage in to honor the magnificent temple we live in.
  
  These sessions are based on Practicing Our Faith book edited by Dorothy C. Bass. This book offers reflection on practices of faith as a way of connecting faith with our everyday and opens a path of spiritual formation. It will inspire you by offering stories from various traditions that run counter to some of our practices today. We will be having conversations together that will spread to many contexts, each of which presents unique opportunities for noticing, discussing, and living the practices of faith. Our Director of Lifespan Religious Education Dr. Tamar Wasoian invites you to join her on Wednesdays February 19 at 7:00pm in the church library for a three-part discussion about: Times of Yearning, Honoring the Body and Hospitality.

Exploring Diversity Book Group
- 02/20/2020
- Our church is committed to promoting a society and community where all people are respected and celebrated. A vital part of growing in our understandings of each other is to find opportunities to hear the stories and experiences of people with diverse perspectives. Our Exploring Diversity Book Group meets regularly to discuss works by authors from a variety of backgrounds. The group is currently reading “The Buddha in the Attic” by Julie Otsuka. This book is a poem and a tale of the lives of a group of Japanese ‘Picture Brides’ brought to San Francisco in the early 20th century, from their perspective as workers, wives, and mothers. It chronicles their lives and time spent in internment camps during World War II. The Book Group will gather on Thursday February 20 at 1:30pm in the church library to discuss the book and to share our own experiences. For more information, please contact Jane Malin
