Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion - The Necessary Conversation. Special Wednesday Evening Service with Olivia Kinzler

The United States is known to be one of the most diverse countries in the world...a melting pot of sorts. From the outside looking in, it would seem so. I believe we can do better at cultivating communities where all races, colors, creeds and ethnicities are valued; I believe we can better recognize the goodness and talents of all people who were born here, or immigrated here, so we might all take part in the American dream.

Diversity for me is the goal. Within our CSLSR community of like-minded souls, I wonder what it might look like if we were more curious about those who are different from us. So much can be learned and appreciated when one lives amongst a variety of people whose cultures and experiences don't match with our own.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (D.E.I.) will be discussed in detail beginning on Wed. 8/21 at Rev. Russ's mid-week service. We will look at how Diversity has deep spiritual roots, and how honoring Diversity is a rich spiritual practice. There will also be a time for questions, because curiosity is one of the best ways we learn and come together in community.

Love,

Olivia Kinzler

PS: The potluck starts at 6pm! Bring your favorite dish to share with your friends, and we will begin our conversation about Diversity at 7.

New Location Our usual location at the Center is being used for the High Holy Days celebration, so we’re gathering at this new spot for one night only. The Cathars of France Dr. Edward Viljoen, who recently returned from a European vacation, will lead the evening with a fascinating discussion about how we form our personal beliefs about life. He’ll share stories from his travels through Southern France, including his time in the land of the Cathars—a Christian sect from the 12th to 14th century whose beliefs stood in stark contrast to the dominant church of their time. Their tragic history raises powerful questions about what happens when deeply held beliefs are challenged. How do you respond when your beliefs are questioned? In this casual, engaging setting, Dr. Edward will guide us in reflecting on how we came to our own be

Dr. Edward Viljoen at Wednesday Evening - Recovering from Betrayal: Lessons from Holy Wednesday

Betrayal can leave us reeling, lost in a sea of shattered trust and emotional turmoil. Yet, within the stories we've inherited, there are paths forward, lessons on resilience, and recovery that resonate through time. Holy Wednesday, often overshadowed by the more prominent days of Holy Week, offers profound insights into the nature of betrayal and the steps toward healing. Dr. Edward will talk about the story of betrayal, understanding its impact on our peace, and the steps we may take to heal from it. The Story of Betrayal Holy Wednesday marks a pivotal moment in the Easter narrative—the day Judas Iscariot chose to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. This act wasn't a mere transaction; it was a breach of deep, personal trust. Judas, one of the twelve disciples, had walked alongside Jesus, sharing in the journey, the teachings, and the miracles. His betrayal set in motion the events leading to the crucifixion, a cornerstone of the Easter story. Understanding the Impact B

What Do You Believe Now?

Dear Community, I just love this old photo of me and Music Director Christopher Fritzsche. And, I love that I get to work with him at the Center. But that's not the point of this message. :) I invite you to gather with me on Wednesday, November 8th at 7 p.m. for our Evening Service, where I'll talk about my own journey with Science of Mind, which began at a time when the world was less inundated with information. Today, with a deeper understanding of the nuances of human emotion, neurodiversity, social dynamics, and mental health, I find it enriching to revisit and question the ideas that initially drew me in. The concept that our thoughts have creative power prompted me to ask questions and seek out answers that were both invigorating and, at times, challenging. I've come to appreciate an approach that values evidence and personal growth over accepting ideas at face value. Our gathering is open to all, irrespective of individual beliefs about the divine. Instead, we fo
