“Native Americans,
Hobbits and Buddha,”
A Three-Part Spiritual Series on
Paths to More Meaning-Filled Living
What do we believe? What do we truly cherish? What means most to us?
This spring, the Angelica Center for Spiritual Living offers, “Native Americans, Hobbits and Buddha,” an exceptional opportunity to explore these questions with three renowned speakers, beginning with a presentation by the Bishop of Navajoland, The Right Reverend David Bailey, who will offer his insights on Native American spirituality and its relationship to our own lives today. The Bishop will speak on April 21, at 2:00 p.m. in the Paris Hall.
The Bishop’s vocation has taken him into a deep appreciation of the Native American experience, a story which remains a still largely overlooked part of our cultural legacy. It is a painful story of much injustice, but also of deep spiritual resources that have much to say to our contemporary society. Bishop Bailey was ordained to the Episcopal priesthood in1980, and served as Rector of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Phoenix. It was during this time that he began his long and deep involvement with the people of Navajoland, becoming one of the Episcopal Church most noted advocates for the awareness of Native American experience.
The combination of his warmth, compassion, insight, and commitment both to personal growth and to confronting injustice makes him a compelling spiritual leader for our time. Hear first hand from this rare and uniquely qualified voice as he offers his knowledge and appreciation of Native American Spirituality as it informs us today.
The series continues on May 12, with the Reverend Fleming Rutlege, who will share her insights into Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings,” trilogy. The series concludes on June 16, with best-selling author Roland Merullo, who will be addressing spiritual ideas found in his novels “Golfing with God,” and “Breakfast with Buddha.” Check back for more information on these speakers.
Tickets for the talks are available at 508-255-2656 or st.dewing@verizon.net for a suggested contribution of $20. each and $5. for students. The series is also available for a $50. suggested contribution.
The Angelica Center’s mission is to offer a broad variety of spiritual resources to the community, inviting a deeper reflection on what is most meaningful. What do we believe? What do we truly cherish? What means most to us? To this end, the Center promotes and supports practices and processes which prove helpful to us individually and collectively.
