The sessions are on S aturdays\, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays\, 12-1. All are wide open and you are w elcome to come twice a week or once in a while.\n\nThe participants over t he years have found that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, affec tionate community of inquirers in which we read and converse\, are as impo rtant as the reading itself. While many small groups begin with a check-in \, with a session only an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to t he conversation. Those who are frequently in the group get to know each ot her very well this way\, and those who are new will soon find they are amo ng friends.\n\n\n\nFacilitators use a light hand\, posting the reading in the chat and calling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for reading s* come from group members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they wa nt to try that role.\n\nThe reading for this session: Wednesday\, May 27th \n\n...how wrong it is to use God as a stop-gap for the incompleteness of our knowledge. If in fact the frontiers of knowledge are being pushed furt her and further back (and that is bound to be the case)\, then God is bein g pushed back with them\, and is therefore continually in retreat. We are to find God in what we know\, not in what we don't know\; God wants us to realize his presence\, not in unsolved problems but in those that are solv ed.\n—from Dietrich Bonhoeffer Letters and Papers from Prison\n\n\n  \;\n\n \;\n\nHow to join:\n\n\n\n Join this class from your Web brows er: https://zoom.us/j/96865808923\, passcode 227385\n Join this class usi ng the Zoom app: Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this class by phone: 66 9 900 6833 US (San Jose) Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this class by o ne-tap on mobile phones: 6699006833\,\,96865808923#  (San Jose)\n Phonin g in\, but not in the Bay Area?  Find your local number: https://zoom.us/ u/abL8clvIYT\n\nThis is the Zoom link for Wednesdays.

That proved mislead ing--for one thing\, more often than not our sources are secular--but it's worth describing the qualities of a sacred text\, which we still look for in the readings we choose. It is any reading that helps us to:\n\n conne ct to something of supreme importance to us\n feel more connected to othe r beings or to the universe\n feel more intensely alive\n align our live s with our values\,\n perceive or feel more deeply\n be more fully and a uthentically ourselves.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.uucpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09 /Resonant-Reading.png CATEGORIES:Adult,Learning,Ongoing Events,Small Groups END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Los_Angeles X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Los_Angeles BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
