You see, I’ve increasingly come to realize that many people are tempted to fall into thinking that what’s being offered within the local community is the well-fitting, bespoke spiritual suit or dress itself. But it’s not. What’s on offer here, in the company of fellow students and experienced free religious and spiritual seekers, is an apprenticeship in how to tailor for yourself your own well-fitting, bespoke spiritual garment suitable for every aspect of your everyday life. …
— Andrew Brown, “What an apprenticeship in tailoring might tell us about the making of a creative, free spirituality or religion …”, a “thought for the day” for February 24, 2024.
We are currently having a full service on the first Sunday of each month, and discussing a different short reading each of the remaining Sundays.
On Sunday, 13 October, we will open with a very brief service and chalice lighting, after which Robert Helfer will guide us through our discussion. This week’s reading is Andrew Brown’s “thought for the day” for February 24, 2024, on making a creative, free spirituality or religion, “What an apprenticeship in tailoring might tell us about the making of a creative, free spirituality or religion . . .“, which is, in part, a sequel to his “thought for the day” for February 17, 2024, “Will ready-made religion ever really fit us properly?“. I encourage all to read the full source of the excerpt included in this announcement, and perhaps consider reading the earlier “thought”.
All are welcome to participate.
