MfW+ Creative Conversation – Thursday 2nd November

Dear Friends,
We hope this note finds you well.  Many thanks to tom kunesh for reminding us of the radicalness of ‘quiet communalism’, especially in challenging times. We hope you will join us for our next Quaker Meeting and Creative Conversation in November.  
2 November QM+CC at 7PM GMT/3PM EDT by Zoom, will introduce the concern, Reflecting on the State of Your Spirituality. 
(Note: UK clocks go back 1 hour on 29th of October.  US clocks do not go back until the 5th of November)

From Al Palmer, “Many nontheists avoid the terms “spiritual” or “spirituality” because of their links to mysterious or god like activities.  However, it might be possible to define both in ways that refer to some more common processes of thought and reflection that might be helpful in organizing and managing our lives.  Here is a link to an essay that you might find interesting.  https://tinyurl.com/nhax7pvv
