Adult Ed, Feb 9

Jeannie Bowman continues our series with Chapter 2 of John Phillip Newall’s book, The Great Search, “Seeking Earth: Nan Shepard.” Scottish writer Nan Shepherd (1893-1931) intuitively saw the interrelatedness of all things and humanity’s need to live sustainably with Earth and all life forms. Slides for this presentation are below.

In line with the Great Schism in the 11th century, the Reformation in the 16th, the Great Awakening of the 18th, today we too find ourselves in the Great Search. As each class in this series focuses on one chapter, it explores the insights of prophets, poets, and visionaries, from the likes of Julian of Norwich, Carl Jung, and Thomas Berry, as we navigate this time of great challenge and opportunity in the Church and society and in our quest for healing and home.

We were unable to show the slides for this morning’s presentation, so we have attached them here: Slides for “Seeking Earth” class.
