SUMMARY:Sacred Text Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Sacred Text Reading Group  \n\nA weekly online sacred text read
 ing group with Reverend Amy\n\nUsing a spiritual-practice approach\, in ea
 ch session we will explore a different brief scriptural text in depth. The
  aims of the sessions are educational (learning something about the texts 
 and traditions)\, spiritual/moral (discovering what the texts ask of us)\,
  and community-building (getting to know each other better). I'll have a v
 ersion of the text available to share\; "bring" your own if you like. All 
 are welcome\, as are your suggestions of future texts.\n\n\nOur text for S
 aturday\, September 5 is from the connected discourses\, 12.65:\n“Suppos
 e\, bhikkhus\, a man wandering through a forest would see an ancient path\
 , an ancient road travelled upon by people in the past.  He would follow 
 it and would see an ancient city\, an ancient capital that had been inhabi
 ted by people in the past\, with parks\, groves\, ponds\, and ramparts\, a
  delightful place.  Then the man would inform the king or a royal ministe
 r:  ‘Sire\, know that while wandering through the forest I saw an ancie
 nt path\, an ancient road travelled upon by people in the past.  I follow
 ed it and saw an ancient city\, an ancient capital that had been inhabited
  by people in the past\, with parks\, groves\, ponds\, and ramparts\, a de
 lightful place.  Renovate that city\, sire!’  Then the king or the roy
 al minister would renovate the city\, and some time later that city would 
 become successful and prosperous\, well populated\, filled with people\, a
 ttained to growth and expansion."\n\n\n\nAlthough we will focus on this pa
 ragraph and the many ways it may speak to us\, you may also want to read i
 t in the context of the sutta (sutra) where it appears\, Nagara Sutta: The
  City.\n\nHow to join:\n\n 	Join this class from your Web browser: https:/
