| Pathways: Explorations in Spiritual Transformation
An educational and spiritual series held at Mercy Center in Auburn
|
Pathways is an ongoing series that is grounded in the Holy Bible and Christian Traditions. This year we will explore the theology of Raimon Panikkar, who as a Catholic Priest has explored both Hinduism and Buddhism. Pathways will also read the classical Hindu Texts: Bhagavad Gita and The Upanishads.
The Christ is the mediation of Divinity and Humanity. That is, Jesus of Nazareth is both fully God and fully human. Here are some questions that will be explored in this series:
- How is the Christ revealed in Hinduism?
- How can the Holy Trinity be expressed anew at the beginning of the 21st century?
- How can Christians, in cooperation with other people of good will, create a better world?
Cost is $250 for the entire series (retreat not included) or $35 per session. Further information and online registration are available at the Mercy Center website.
