The Compassion to Listen
We continue with a visit from our Unitarian siblings in Jowai, India and Barot, Transylvania hearing about their experiences this past week. In the practice of compassion, how are we called to listen and receive stories of one another, and cultures we do not know? What can come of cultivating this deep compassion now?
Program for children and youth: Programming for PreK - 5th grades is at 9:30 and 11 AM. Children begin in Sanctuary (main level). Grades 6 and up meet at 6 PM.
