SUMMARY:Sacred Text Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Sacred Text Reading Group  \n\n\n\nA twice-weekly online sacred
  text reading group. We meet on Saturdays\, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays\, 12-1
 . All are wide open and you are welcome!\n\nUsing a spiritual-practice app
 roach\, in each session we will explore a different brief scriptural text 
 in depth. The aims of the sessions are educational (learning something abo
 ut 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\nThe facilit
 ator will have a version of the text available to share\; “bring” your
  own if you like. All are welcome\, as are your suggestions of future text
 s. Group members also take turns facilitating\, if they want to try that r
 ole.\n\n\n\nOur text for Saturday\, October 2\, 2021 comes from Civil Righ
 ts activist Diane Nash\, who helped organized the Nashville sit-in in1960 
 and helped found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC):\n\n
 The movement had a way of reaching inside me and bringing out things that 
 I never knew were there. Like courage\, and love for people. It was a real
  experience to be seeing a group of people who would put their bodies betw
 een you and danger. And to love people that you work with enough that you 
 would put your body between them and danger. I was afraid of going to jail
 . I said\, “I’ll do telephone work\, and I’ll type\, but I’m reall
 y afraid to go to jail.” But when the time came to go to jail\, I was fa
 r too busy to be afraid.\nAnd we had to go\, that’s what happened.\nI th
 ink it’s really important that young people today understand that the mo
 vement of the sixties was really a people’s movement. The media and hist
 ory seem to record it as Martin Luther King’s movement\, but young peopl
 e should realize that it was people just like them\, their age\, that form
 ulated goals and strategies\, and actually developed the movement. When th
 ey look around now\, and see things that need to be changed\, they should 
 say: “What can I do? What can my roommate and I do to effect that change
 ?”\n\nFor check-in / getting-acquainted time\, the room will be open ten
  minutes before and ten minutes after the session.\n\n\nHow to join:\n\n
