SUMMARY:Sacred Text Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Sacred Text Reading Group  \n\n\nA weekly online sacred text re
 ading group with Amy\n\nUsing a spiritual-practice approach\, in each sess
 ion we will explore a different brief scriptural text in depth. The aims o
 f the sessions are educational (learning something about the texts and tra
 ditions)\, spiritual/moral (discovering what the texts ask of us)\, and co
 mmunity-building (getting to know each other better). Amy will have a vers
 ion of the text available to share\; “bring” your own if you like. All
  are welcome\, as are your suggestions of future texts. About half our rea
 dings so far have been those suggested by group members.\n\n\nOur text for
  Saturday\, March 27 comes from Annie Dillard:\n\n\n\nWhy do we people in 
 churches seem like cheerful\, brainless tourists on a packaged tour of the
  Absolute? . . . . On the whole\, I do not find Christians\, outside of th
 e catacombs\, sufficiently sensible of conditions. Does anyone have the fo
 ggiest idea what sort of power we so blithely invoke? Or\, as I suspect\, 
 does no one believe a word of it? The churches are children playing on the
  floor with their chemistry sets\, mixing up a batch of TNT to kill a Sund
 ay morning. It is madness to wear ladies' straw hats and velvet hats to ch
 urch\; we should all be wearing crash helmets. Ushers should issue life pr
 eservers and signal flares\; they should lash us to our pews.\n\n\n\n\nHow
