SUMMARY:SOM- "Braiding Sweet Grass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer - Thurs 6pm
DESCRIPTION:Starting June 19th \n\n\n\n\n\nIn Braiding Sweetgrass\, Robin Wall Kimmerer draws upon Indigenous wisdom and environmental science to explore humanity’s reciprocal relationship with nature. The author recounts sacred creation stories and rituals—such as the Skywoman Falling myth and the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address—that center gratitude\, kinship\, and reciprocity as guiding principles for sustainability. \nKimmerer argues that the path forward lies in integrating traditional ecological knowledge with scientific methods. The practices of sustainable harvests\, listening to “plant languages\,” and heeding the Windigo myth’s warnings against overconsumption offer a pathway to restoring balance between humans and the natural world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis group meets on Zoom from 6 – 7pm.\n\n\n\n\n\nCathy Riggsbee and Kathleen Wood will be heading up the SOM discussion group. \nContact Cathy at 828-550-3812 for more information. \n

SUMMARY:SOM- "Why Christianity Must Change or Die" by John Shelby Spong\, Tues 6-7pm
DESCRIPTION:Starting February 24th\n\n\n\n\n\nAn important and respected voice for liberal American Christianity for the past twenty years\, Bishop John Shelby Spong integrates his often controversial stands on the Bible\, Jesus\, theism\, and morality into an intelligible creed that speaks to today’s thinking Christian. In this compelling and heartfelt book\, he sounds a rousing call for a Christianity based on critical thought rather than blind faith\, on love rather than judgment\, and that focuses on life more than religion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis group meets on Zoom from 6 – 7pm.\n\n\n\n\n\nCathy Riggsbee and Kathleen Wood will be heading up the SOM discussion group. \nContact Cathy at 828-550-3812 for more information. \n
