SUMMARY:Lessons and Practices of Revolutionary Love
DESCRIPTION:What is Revolutionary Love you ask? According to Valarie Kaur\, “revolutionary love is an orientation to the world and to the work of justice that is most successfully practiced in community. It is more than emotion or feeling. It is the ongoing choice to labor for others\, opponents\, and ourselves.” \nThe Spiritual Life Committee invites you to learn more about Revolutionary Love on Thursdays\, September 15–November 17\, 5:30–7 pm. A light meal will be provided. \nDrawing upon Kaur’s book\, See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love\, we will discover together revolutionary love as a praxis for personal\, spiritual\, and political\, transformation. We will examine stories\, theories\, and practices from writers\, scholars\, activists\, and practitioners whose work has informed the framework of revolutionary love. We will connect these to historical contexts and contemporary social issues and concerns. We will engage in personal spiritual practices to challenge power inequalities\, dismantle unjust institutions\, and create a world that honors the humanity of us all. And each week\, will practice communal learning\, personal and silent reflection\, and invitations to action. \nThe outline of her spiritual practice paradigm can be seen in the compass on the right\, with a focus on loving others\, opponents and ourselves. We will explore one of these each week. There are corresponding: \nIt is recommended that you begin reading her book before we start. Limited copies are available. Contact Pastor BJ for more information. \nWatch Valarie Kaur’s TED Talk to get a sense of the arch and aim of our time together.

SUMMARY:Sabbath Retreat
DESCRIPTION:There is a kind of hurry that is a form of violence exercised upon time that is detrimental to our health\, our families\, our communities\, and our relationship with God. Admittedly\, there are times when the demands of relationships\, family\, work\, school\, church\, childcare\, shopping\, health\, appearance\, housework\, meals\, bill payments\, commuting\, accidents\, interruptions\, illness\, and countless other things eat up more time than is seemingly available. Living under pressure is a part of life. Still\, we have to be careful not to rationalize. God didn’t make a mistake in creating time; God made enough of it.  \nWhen we cannot find enough time and—as the psalmist says—find ourselves getting up earlier and going to bed later because we have too much to do\, we can see this as a sign to make some changes in our lives. When we allow ourselves to be driven like this for too long\, we end up doing violence to time\, to ourselves\, and to our blood pressure! What’s the answer?  \nThere is no simple answer\, but there is a divinely given counsel regarding how we can protect ourselves from becoming addicted to pressure and rushing headlong through our lives. It’s more than counsel to lower blood pressure; it’s one of the Ten Commandments: Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day. God gave us the Sabbath. Jesus taught us that we weren’t made for the sabbath but that sabbath was made for us. Sabbath time is our time\, our chance to rest\, to worship God…\, to taste a wee bit of heaven\, and to be more in sympathy with all that is\, not least our own lives. \n—Ronald Rolheiser\, (Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest\, by Ruth Haley Barton\, pages ix-xi) \nIf these words tap into your own experience and desire\, join us for a Sabbath Retreat\, Friday–Sunday\, October 21–23\, at St. Emma’s Retreat House in Greensburg. The retreat will include times of prayer\, rest\, solitude\, silence\, table fellowship\, teaching\, and reflection. The cost is $150 (scholarships are available). RSVP to Pastor BJ by Sunday\, October 16. Spots are limited.
