Spirituality and the World's Major Religions with Patricia Cook, RSM and Maria Decsy
Thursdays from 2 pm – 4 pm
March 18, 25, April 8, 15, 29, and May 6
$20/session, or $100 for all six sessions

Too often we have learned to see the religions of the world in competitive terms of differences and divisions.  Let us ponder together the common ground, the wisdom and spiritual treasures that underlie them.  We shall consider the ancient religions of India, China and Japan.  We shall look to the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.  We shall not neglect a consideration of the unwritten traditions of native peoples, including aboriginal Australians and our own Native Americans.  Together we shall take an eagle's eye view in six sessions.  Will you come and enjoy and contemplate with us?
