Gathering for Contemplation and Action


Ever Evolving Community,

Theologian Paul Knitter speaks about a "Sacrament of Silence." He states:

"If the Divine is truly a Mystery that is beyond all human comprehension, beyond all human ideas and words, then any spiritual practice must make room - lots of room - for "the practice of silence." 

But of course, all faith traditions also teach that spirituality is about compassion – concretely caring for others. During tomorrow's Gathering, we will explore this interdependent relationship between Being and Doing, between contemplation and action.

For our pot luck, you're invited to "contemplate" your food offering.  What does it say about your life? Your interests and tastes your spirituality? Where and how are you spending your time and with what are you nourishing/filling your body? Our offering will be designated for West Texas Organizing Strategy.

Namaste,

Karen
