SUMMARY:What's On Your Mind Listening Session
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to offer you opportunities to share what’s on your mind through What’s On Your Mind Listening Sessions. As we begin this interim period\, we want to hear from all All Souls members who’d like input on interim planning. We also want to answer any questions you have about the interim process. \nThe members of the team are Miles Chapin\, Sally Turner\, Heather Floyd\, Malinda Foy\, Tara McNamara\, Bryce Stack\, Christina Darnowski\, Emma Clarkson and Trevor Sanson. \nUpcoming Schedule: Four sessions each weekend – Sign up HERE! \n\nSaturday: 10:00-11:30 AM and 2:00-3:30 PM\nSunday: 9:30-11:00 AM and 1:30-3:00 PM\n\nEach listening session will be divided into two parts: First\, we’ll listen to whatever you want to share about what’s on your mind. Then\, you’ll participate in an Appreciative Inquiry dyad (paired conversation). As you talk\, your scribe will capture themes\, ideas\, and feelings on a flipchart. All the information will be gathered\, collated\, sorted and used to identify and prioritize the work we will address during our interim. \nThe TT and I will use these notes to identify what is most important to the members of All Souls. Without any identifying details\, or sensitive information\, the results will be reported to the Board\, staff and published\, unless you tell us that you do not want your sharing recorded. No names will be credited to any information. \nThe success of these listening sessions is directly proportional to the number of people who participate so be sure to attend one or more sessions! There will be a sign-up table this Sunday at coffee hour and an online option will be available early next week. We hope to see everyone at these sessions and learn what is on your minds.

SUMMARY:The Annual Bellows Lecture: "Reconstructing our Unitarian History: Perils and Possibilities"
DESCRIPTION:The Annual Bellows Lecture sponsored by the All Souls Historical Society will be given on\nFRIDAY\, MAY 16TH\nby Rev. Wayne B. Arnason:\n“Reconstructing our Unitarian History: Perils and Possibilities” \nClick HERE to join on Zoom \nPasscode: AS \nAs a congregation that has held famous leaders and events\, All Souls Church has a monumental place in the history of Unitarianism. The approach we often take to teaching our history has also been “monumental”. Monumental histories focus on the “great ones”\, the people who achieved or represent major milestones that define the chapters of our common story. The peril of the monumental approach to history is leaving out stories and characters that don’t fit our heroic narratives. Can the history of our faith be reconstructed as our values and our perspectives change? Drawing on new research and challenging projects in historical renovation\, this lecture will explore whether constructing a new story requires tearing down an old one. As a case study in historical reconstruction\, we will examine the relationships of the ministers of All Souls Church to Rev. Egbert Ethelred Brown\, minister of the Harlem Unitarian Church from 1937 to 1956. \nThe Rev. Dr. Wayne Arnason retired in 2016 from a forty-year career in Unitarian Universalist ministry serving in both parish ministry and in staff and governance roles in the Unitarian Universalist Association. Since retiring\, he has taken up his passion for history. A graduate of the Harvard Divinity School\, Wayne Arnason was recognized by Meadville Lombard Theological School in 2014 with their honorary doctorate degree for his lifetime of service. Arnason has published an institutional history of the liberal religious youth movement entitled We Would Be One (2005) and an internally published history of the UUA’s Ministerial Fellowship Committee entitled In Fellowship (2020). He is part of a team presenting the 2025 Minns Lectures entitled “Deconstructing Unitarian Anti-Racist Mythologies 1860-1920”. He currently volunteers as the Archivist of the UU Congregation in Charlottesville VA and is married to our Targeted Senior Minister\, Rev. Kathleen Rolenz.

SUMMARY:Courageous Compassion with Venerable Robina Courtin
DESCRIPTION:The development of compassion and the wish to help others\, no matter what\, is the point of the path to enlightenment\, the end result: the removal of all separateness from others and the spontaneous capacity to benefit others. Why “courageous”? Because genuine compassion encompasses all living beings\, including the harmers\, the negative ones\, not just the innocent victims. But as His Holiness the Dalai Lama says\, “Compassion is not enough: we need wisdom.” By first developing our own amazing potential by lessening attachment\, anxiety\, anger and the other limiting states of mind\, it’s then possible to develop such radical compassion. \nOrdained since the late 1970s\, Ven. Robina has worked full time since then for Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s FPMT. Over the years she has served as editorial director of Wisdom Publications\, editor of Mandala Magazine\, executive director of Liberation Prison Project\, and as a touring teacher of Buddhism. Her life and work with prisoners have been featured in the documentary films Chasing Buddha and Key to Freedom.

SUMMARY:Adult Education: Connecting and Healing with Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, Laura will invite participants to reflect on the idea of ancestors. Who are “the ancestors”? How do they affect the lives of those of us who are still living? How can we bring healing for our families from the burdens of the ones who came before us? The talk will be informed by Laura’s work as a practitioner of ancestral lineage healing through the Ancestral Medicine Network\, an international web of ritualists who offer culturally-sensitive entry points for people who wish for connection and well-being with their ancestors. You can read more about her work at elastic-portal.space.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Lectio Divina
DESCRIPTION:Lectio divina (“divine reading”) is a contemplative practice of reading sacred texts. The method involves four successive ways of reading: lectio (read)\, meditatio (reflect)\, oratio (respond)\, contemplatio (rest). In this five-part series (one in-person on Sunday 2/16\, and the rest on Wednesday evenings through Zoom)\, we will practice lectio divina together\, drawing on religious and secular texts across traditions and eras\, as a practice of sensitizing ourselves to the voice of the divine as it communicates off the page\, and in our daily lives.
