Literary Classics Workshop: Transforming the Fiction of Obsession into the Wholeness of Perfection

“Literature is a point outside of our [present day] circle, through which a new one may be described. The use of literature is to afford us a platform whence we may command a view of our present life, a purchase by which we may move it. …We see literature best from the midst of wild nature, or from the din of affairs, or from a high religion.*”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, from his essay “Circles”

*The Science of Mind textbook is entitled: The Science of Mind – A Philosophy, A Faith, A Way of Life…this is the “high” perspective from which we will be looking at literature in this workshop. What an awesome perspective it is, to read the classics and absorb their wealth of riches into our lives. And as we do so, we “command a view” and “move” our lives so that we are even greater and more expansive expressions of the Infinite Goodness of God that dwells within each and every one of us.

On Saturday, June 13, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, we will be discussing our first classic: Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea. A table will be set up outside the church sanctuary this coming Sunday so you can get more information and sign-up for what promises to be a workshop of spiritual discovery for all.
