SACRED
WRITINGS, WRITING THE SACRED
Dates: Wednesdays, September 13 to October 4, 2006
Times: 9:15 - 11:15 am
Leader: Glynis Wilson-Boultbee
During this session, you will be invited
to appreciate sacred writing from the Christian and other traditions.
And using "Writing the Sacred" by Ray McGinnis as a text, we will
follow a "psalm-inspired path" to record our own thoughts about
spirit and do some sacred writing of our own. This can be as simple
as a heartfelt list of what we are grateful for. So relax! No
writing experience is necessary.

The primary focus will be on an in-depth
look at each commandment and how it can be applied and practised
in our daily life. We will also see how each one is reflected
in the "Lord's Prayer" and in other major religions. A brief handout
will be available for each session with ideas that can be followed
and any assignments to be done through the week.
PARABLES,

these stories that continue to challenge our faith
