Our Place in the World of Religion, Part I (Audio and Video)

Part I of a Lifespan Faith Development Program
September 21, 2008

Description:  Churches can be pretty insular institutions, particularly in relation to other religions. Fortunately, UUs have a more open sensibility about other religions. We have some distance to go, though, in bringing that sensibility into how we cultivate our own collective spiritual life. This three-part program aimed to enable a basic literacy about the current state of spirituality and religion in our world. This is essential for every member of our community, as a foundation for the deeper dialogue about spirituality to which we aspire.

The first session provided a big picture view of religion in both the United States and internationally. Reverend Preston Moore led the session and spoke for about 25 minutes. The session ended with a full group discussion.
