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\nOn Saturday\
 , May 22\, 2021\, our text is an excerpt from Wendell Berry's preface to T
 he Way of Ignorance:\n&nbsp\;\n. . . Our ignorance ultimately is irremedia
 ble. . . . Some problems are unsolvable and some questions unanswerable...
 do what we will\, we are never going to be free of mortality\, partiality\
 , fallibility\, and error. The extent of our knowledge will always be\, at
  the same time\, the measure of our ignorance.\nBecause ignorance is thus 
 a part of our creaturely definition\, we need an appropriate way: a way of
  ignorance\, which is the way of neighborly love\, kindness\, caution\, ca
 re\, appropriate scale\, thrift\, good work\, right livelihood. Creatures 
 who have armed themselves with the power of limitless destruction should n
 ot be following any way laid out by their limited knowledge and their unse
 emly pride in it.\nThe way of ignorance\, therefore\, is to be careful\, t
 o know the limits and the efficacy of our knowledge. It is to be humble an
 d to work on an appropriate scale.\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to join:\n\n 	Join this
