Religious Exploration for Adults
SPRING RELIGIOUS EXPLORATION ADULT offerings:
The Principles of Ghandian Nonviolence as a Foundation for our Practice
Martin Luther King Jr’s vision of Beloved Community was largely inspired by his understanding of Gandhian Nonviolence. This class will provide an in-depth exploration of Gandhian Nonviolence, and the 6 principles that provide the core for building beloved community. Each week, we will examine one of these principles and explore ways to live in accordance with these principles.
This class is designed to be interactive & participatory, one in which participants will help create an environment that supports us all to take action as a result of our conversations and learnings.
Attendance at all classes is preferred, but not mandatory- come if you can! Bring a friend! Please register here so that we can get an idea of numbers for planning.
Class Schedule Sundays following the Service 12:15-1:30
