SUMMARY:Sacred Text Reading Group: Saturdays
DESCRIPTION:Sacred Text Reading Group: Saturdays  \n\n\nA twice-weekly onli
 ne sacred text reading group. We meet on Saturdays\, 4-5\, and on Wednesda
 ys\, 12-1. All are wide open and you are welcome!\n\nUsing a spiritual-pra
 ctice approach\, in each session we will explore a different brief scriptu
 ral text in depth. The aims of the sessions are educational (learning some
 thing about the texts and traditions)\, spiritual/moral (discovering what 
 the texts ask of us)\, and community-building (getting to know each other 
 better). Our practice usually follows this version of Lectio Divina.\n\nTh
 e facilitator will have a version of the text available to share\; “brin
 g” your own if you like. All are welcome\, as are your suggestions of fu
 ture texts. Group members also take turns facilitating\, if they want to t
 ry that role.\n\n\nOur reading for Saturday\, September 25 is this provoca
 tive nugget from the 20th-century US American scholar\, rabbi and activist
  Abraham Joshua Heschel:\n\n\n\n"The primary purpose of prayer is not to m
 ake requests. The primary purpose is to praise\, to sing\, to chant. Becau
 se the essence of prayer is a song\, and man cannot live without a song. P
 rayer may not save us. But prayer may make us worthy of being saved."\n\n\
 n\nFor check-in / getting-acquainted time\, the room will be open ten minu
 tes before and ten minutes after the session.\n\n\nHow to join:\n\n\n\n\n
