Are you curious about other World Religions and how they relate to Christianity?
Over the course of five Sundays, starting July 27, we will be hearing excerpts from a book by bestselling author and Episcopal priest Barbara Brown Taylor: “Holy Envy — Finding God in the Faith of Others”.
As the intro to her book reflects, we will join her as she “tackles the questions, worries, and concerns that arise when we encounter ‘difference’ and ‘others’.” We will engage our own hearts and minds as she explores what is opened and revealed when we accept the invitation to investigate the spiritual riches God can teach us from the faith of others.
Our hope is that as we explore this together, we will find ways to build bridges and make connections with other faiths and the people who embrace those faiths — even as we open ourselves to the diversity and beauty in the midst of this faith community, and indeed within our own spiritual journeys.
Come along to our series of 5 services exploring how Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism can enrich and help us explore our own faith as we seek to build bridges and make connections with other faiths and the people who embrace those faiths.
This series will take place on July 27, August 3, August 10, August 17, and August 24 during our regular Sunday Worship services at 10:15 am at James Bay United Church.
You can join us in person or watch the livestream of the corresponding service. Livestream links will be shared each Friday in our newsletter and posted on our website.
