Adult Religious Exploration

“LECTIO DIVINA” MAY 15, 10 AM - NOON

Lectio Divina is the practice of approaching scripture as allegories about the human spiritual journey. For example, the story of the Israelites’ liberation from Egypt becomes the story of our own journey away from bondage toward freedom. Geographical spaces like the desert or the Promised Land come to symbolize interior places. If you would like to explore this spiritual practice, join us!

“BUILDING THE WORLD WE DREAM ABOUT" MAY 21, 7:30-9:00 PM

This new curriculum from the UUA about multi-culturalism is designed as a monthly, year-long exploration of issues of individual and group identity as well as how social systems unnecessarily divide and oppress the human family. We hope that what we learn as a result of these discussions will help our congregation develop the courage to live out our conviction to build a world where every person’s inherent worth is honored.

"The great end in religious instruction is not to stamp our minds irresistibly on (others), but to stir up their own; not to have them see with our eyes, but to seek inquiring and steadily with their their own; not to impose religion upon them in the form of arbitrary rules, which rest on no foundation, but our own word and will, but to awaken the conscience, the moral discernment, so that they may discern and approve for themselves what is everlastingly right and good."

TUUC offers Adult Religious Exploration (ARE) programs throughout the year. To inquire about upcoming ARE programs, please contact the church office at 410-825-6045.  We will post updated information about the ARE programs as they become available.
