Name:Status: MemberDescription: Have you read any good books lately? Maybe you've read a bad book that you want to let the world know about. Either way, this is the place to be. Feel free to share your all--or one--time favorites or the books that you feel should be banished from the shelves. -
Name:Status: MemberDescription: This is a group for people who recognize in a profoundly personal way that we are all actually facets of one whole interacting with itself, or more accurately, Ourself. It is a place for peer discussion and exploration as we move through the challenges and insights we encounter while participating in the awakening of ourselves to our common fundamental identity, Ourself. As indivisible aspects of the single, infinitely diverse entity of everything/reality/creation we all have an opportunity and a responsibility to deepen humankind's awareness of Ourself, and to enrich our language with new terminology/ideas to more accurately portray that which truly is. We want to support each other as we discover wholeness while living in a society that defines everything (including God) as separate when in fact the creator and creation (including all people, animals, plants, minerals, and seen and unseen forces of spirit) are not in any actual way separate. So don't be shy... your vantage point of the whole is completely unique, and is just as valid and important as anybody elses. Enlightenment is the recognition of the wholeness, which by its very all-inclusive nature negates the validity of any kind of exclusive spiritual authority or guru. To allow ourselves to truly feel and be aware of ourselves as part of the great wholeness we need to stop putting others on a pedestal as a way of avoiding being accountable for shining our own light. Let's get the orchestra of the wholeness playing diversely, brilliantly, and powerfully enough to wake up humankind from the illusion of separateness. We can only accomplish this as a community of distinct voices and insights singing out in the harmony of the whole, and not by silencing our own special voice because we have decided some other "enlightened" teacher has a monopoly on authenticity! So sing out your insights, your questions... cry out your pains and frustrations... and love your neighbor as yourself because in truth they are; we are all precious dimensions of one whole. Let's respectfully, gently, and lovingly be Ourself together. -
Name:Status: MemberDescription: I welcome anyone to this group so that it may expand and we can learn off of one another. Discussions welcome but with respect. (Linda has put me {Sean} as group moderater because she has taken a study on the Bible that will take most of her time. Contact her for more info. If you have any questions let me know. I hope Linda injoys her studies and will be back with us soon.) -
Name:Status: MemberDescription: Have you always had questions about Christianity, Islam, or Judaism that you were too afraid to ask? Now you can get your questions answered, and meet people of a wide variety of faiths, in this group led by the authors of the bestselling book THE FAITH CLUB. The book tells the story of Priscilla, Ranya, and Suzanne: three women of three different faiths trying urgently to understand each other in the wake of September 11 and its aftermath. They’re not afraid to ask each other the hard questions about the other faiths — and you shouldn’t be either. THE FAITH CLUB is the November 2007 featured book of the Exploring Faith Book Club. Sign up now to ask your questions and join the conversation! -
Status: MemberDescription: Discussion forum for members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), or those interested. -
Name:Status: MemberDescription: The Kick in the Tush Club is for light-hearted, low-cal loving, nutritional friendly folks who crave mammoth portions of food-facts, recipes, art and inspiration. We are on a mission! To Make Weight Loss Fun!!! Our guide is Our Lady of Weight Loss. She helped me to lose over 50 pounds 6 years ago. (after a life-time of yo'yo'ing). We will dish the dirt, swap recipes and push, pull and support each other on the road to Sveltesville. (FYI, Sveltesville is where Our Lady of Weight Loss lives.) -
Name:Status: MemberDescription: This is an interfaith group who's members are from different spiritual paths and who share their perspectives on various religious topics. Proselytizers need not apply (our first rule) -- there is a difference between sharing your faith's perspective and trying to convince another participant to switch to your faith. At the same time, the emphasis is on discussing what you do believe and / or practice, not on what you don't believe, as we are not a debate group (we are not into wrong making, and this is our second rule.) Our third rule is to share page space in the discussion threads, to allow others to participate, the same way it is done with in-person group discussions. -
Status: MemberDescription: In the past 30 years a revolution has taken place among New Testament scholars in their interpretation of Paul's letters. A concerted effort has taken place to understand Paul's first century Jewish context and use that context to interpret his writings. This group will discuss these developments. -
Status: MemberDescription: Speaking of Faith with Krista Tippett is public radio's conversation about religion, meaning, ethics, and ideas. Each week, Tippett probes the myriad ways in which religious impulses inform every aspect of life and culture, nationally and globally. SOF fills an important and neglected need in American media by addressing the intellectual and spiritual content of religion head-on, illuminating the ideas and practices that form the headlines from the inside. -
Name:Status: MemberDescription: This group is for women of any and all (and no!) faith to discuss and learn with no fear of being converted. Let's learn to live together and to create interfaith and spiritual dialogue!
