Spiritually Speaking

I had a response on Twitter to my post from Saturday about Bishop Curry’s sermon at the Royal Wedding on love:. “Too simple by half.” the person tweeted. Love? Simple? Hardly. I won’t presume to speak for Bishop Curry.

I never knew how much I needed Episcopal Presiding-Bishop and Primate Michael Curry’s sermon at the Royal Wedding until I heard it.

Recently, a video made the rounds, showing an obviously disturbed woman committing what might best be termed an unsanitary act in a neighbourhood Tim Horton’s. A number of media outlets published it online, but I won’t share the link.

Many Protestant denominations consider Pentecost the third most important date in the Christian calendar, after Easter and Christmas. It was the time, fifty days after Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, when the Holy Spirit landed on His disciples.

The mere fact that Buddhism exists is proof that harmlessness can be the root motivation of human life just as powerfully as the 'western' world's embrace of righteousness as the best metric.

“Responding to Disaster... Prayer, Song, Presence” is the theme of a National Worship Conference, July 16 – 19, 2018 in Victoria. www.nationalworshipconference.org .

This is something that was written by a woman I have known for many years, through meditation practice. Her name is Maureen G., sometimes known as GiGi which I am told stands for Great Grandmother.

Buddhism is not centered on a creator God. Therefore, there is no need for Buddhists to explain why suffering exists in the world.
