We Have Questions:

What if there is no “Evil Source” for the cruelty we impose on each other?

. . . . . . . .

Speaker: Barry Johnson was raised in a small town in Northern Wisconsin. He attended Union Theological Seminary, lived in East Harlem and worked on civil rights issues and was office manager of Clergy and Laity Concerned about Vietnam. He is Founding Partner, Chairman & Creator of The Polarity® Map and Principles. He is an avid outdoorsman and intrepid traveler.

Musician: Morgan Haner is an American singer-songwriter, a transplant from southern Illinois who became an adopted Michigander by way of Chicago. He draws his inspiration from the wide range of the North American musical canon, with elements of the Carter Family, Jimmy Reed, Dylan, The Band, Joni Mitchell, and Big Walter Horton, all in more-or-less equal measure. His songs don’t match the genre of “americana” so much as the genre matches him, sometimes like a poorly-tailored suit: it doesn’t quite fit, but looks good nonetheless.

Moment of Silence

Reading/Teaching: Barry Johnson

The only way out and through any dualism, including that between action and contemplation, is a kind of universal forgiveness of reality for being what it is.

This becomes the bonding glue of grace which heals all separations that law, religion, or logic can never finally or fully restore.
