SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Bruce Epperly
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Christmas in Process: From Cosmos to Cradle \n\n\n\nPresenters: Bruce Epperly \n\n\n\nIn the seasons of the Christian year\, Christmas is more than just a day. It is a season going from Christmas Day to January 5\, although you can joyfully celebrate from Christmas Eve to the Feast of Epiphany\, the day of the Magi\, January 6. Joining the infinite and finite and tradition and novelty\, Christmas is a time to celebrate the Incarnation in Bethlehem\, in our lives\, and in the most unexpected places. Bruce Epperly will share how you can celebrate the twelve days of Christmas and embrace the spirit of Christmas from a process perspective through spiritual practices\, reflection on scripture\, and embodying Christmas in your daily life and citizenship not just for twelve days but all year long. \n\n\n\nRev. Bruce Epperly Ph.D. has served as a professor\, seminary administrator\, university chaplain\, and congregational pastor for over forty years. “Retired\,” he continues to teach theology\, spirituality\, and autobiography in the Doctoral of Ministry program at Wesley Theological Seminary\, give seminars\, write\, and rejoice in grandparenting and marriage with Rev. Dr. Kate Epperly. He is the author of over eighty books\, including his “twelve days of Christmas” series\, comprised of five books\, “the twelve days with…African American theologian and spiritual guide Howard Thurman\, theology and youth author Madeleine L’Engle\, Francis and Clare of Assisi\, carols and hymns\, and Celtic spirituality\, respectively\, as well as his book on the Incarnation\, “From Cosmos to Cradle\,” all published by Anamchara Books. He is currently working on a sixth “twelve days” book\, “Once Upon a Time: The Twelve Days of Christmas with Stories and Films.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo receive the Zoom info for this gathering\, click the Going button and enter your name and email.  \n\n\n\n\n\nIf you would like to receive regular announcements and updates about activities and events at the Cobb Institute\, please join our list of Friends. \n\n\n\nCan’t make it to the live session?

SUMMARY:Interweavings: A Season of Darkness and Light 2023
DESCRIPTION:Cosmologically\, this period of late fall marks the increase in hours of darkness until the winter solstice when the hours of light begin to make a return. Many religions have major holidays during this period. For some\, the period of darkness is not feared but is celebrated as a time of rest and renewal or of waiting in a kind of pregnant pause. Most celebrate the increase in light and see this turning of the season as the welcome return of the energies of rebirth and growth. \n\n\n\nIn this event\, we’ll introduce some of the major holidays in late fall and early winter\, noting their significance in each tradition. We’ll look at Diwali\, Advent\, Hanukkah\, St. Lucia Day\, Winter Solstice\, Christmas\, Epiphany\, Kwanzaa\, New Year’s Eve\, and Lunar New Year. \n\n\n\nCome prepared to share a brief memory of a favorite winter holiday food or tradition from your own background! \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the following\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind Out More & Register
