Summary of Ordinary Life for April 13, 2025

Dear Ones -
The title I gave the teaching I offered this week in Ordinary Life is -
Healing During Divisive Times
I began by reciting the 23rd Psalm and by getting everyone to sing “Amazing Grace.” These two works of verbal art bypass our conscious circuits and speak directly to the comfort and consolation we are looking/hoping for during these unprecedented and divisive times. In these teachings about “the wayless way” we are looking to Jesus for guidance and empowerment. This teaching focuses on Jesus as a healer. The stages along the wayless way involve amazement, the dark night, and healing by resistance. To work at walking the wayless way is affirming that what will heal our divide, both internally and culturally, is our demonstrating our faith in having compassion and doing justice.
That’s a brief summary. The audio/video versions of the talk has some differences from the text I spoke from. You can find the text of the talk, the presentation slides and links to the audio and video version of the talk using the links below.
