Sunday, 21 April 2024: Ready-Made Religion

Robert

… just as some of us understand that when we are trying to buy a new dress or suit, the ready-made cuts and sizes are never going perfectly to fit us, some of us also understand that the ready-made religions are never going perfectly fit us either, and that something more fitting can be made. This realization is, of course, precisely what drove the reforms Shakyamuni Buddha and Jesus sought to make to their own ages’ established religions and spiritual traditions.

Rev. Andrew Brown

We are currently having a full service on the first Sunday of each month, and a discussion on the other Sundays. We have completed Exploring, volume 2 of Building Your Own Theology, and this Sunday are beginning a new practice of discussing a different short reading each Sunday.

We will open with a very brief service and chalice lighting, after which members will guide each other through the discussion.

All are welcome to participate. The reading for this week is “Will Ready-Made Religions Ever Really Fit Us Properly“, by Rev. Andrew Brown.

** NOTE: ZOOM will not be available this Sunday. **

Please Join us for Worship.

Our services are Sundays at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time on ZOOM and in person at the Progressive Women’s Association Event Center, 305 Washington Ave. in downtown Clarksburg, behind the Courthouse.

Children are welcome. The building is wheelchair accessible, with an accessible restroom. You may park in the lot on the west side of the building; DO NOT PARK in the Washington Avenue pay lot. Please enter through the door at the back on the west side of the building.
