August 25: "Water Communion"

Board Member in Charge: Katie Bodnar September 1: "Dreaming a Luminous Religion"
Speaker: Rev. James Ishmael Ford
In the Orthodox Christian Church, for nearly a thousand years the 26th of August was celebrated as the feast for the Saints Barlaam and Josaphat. The same saints were honored in the Catholic Church on the 27th of November. In the late 19th century scholars realized the story of the saints was in fact a creative reimagining of the story of Gautama Siddhartha, the Buddha. Today James will reflect on that, an ancient Christian church in China, and what it might mean for us today.
