WALPOLE – Join us on Tuesday, Sept. 18, from 10:30 a.m. to noon as we resume the Walpole Unitarian Spiritual Discussions series at Hastings Parish House on Union Street.
The series is led by Rev. Elaine Bomford, affiliated minister at the Walpole Unitarian Church. Our topics will be drawn from the archives of “On Being” interviews conducted by Krista Tippet and broadcast on public radio.
Participants listen to the program via website or podcast, then we meet to consider it together.” We’ll meet every other Tuesday through November. Come for all of the conversations, or any number you can make. All are welcome to stay for lunch following the discussion, bring your own.
Tuesday’s program features Thich Nhat Hanh, Cheri Maples, and Larry Ward: “Being Peace in a World of Trauma.”
The Vietnamese Zen master, whom Martin Luther King nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, is a voice of power and wisdom in this time of tumult in the world.
Interviewer Krista Tippet and the On Being crew visited Thich Nhat Hanh at a retreat attended by police officers and other members of the criminal justice system; they offer stark gentle wisdom for finding buoyancy and “being peace” in a world of conflict, anger, and violence.
All are welcome to attend! The Walpole Unitarian Church is a Welcoming Congregation embracing spiritual diversity, social action, and love for each other and the planet.
