Last fall West Grove Friends Meeting sponsored a popular series of Wednesday night lectures about other religions, and a few readers lamented that I didn't give them enough advance notice. Well, here's your chance: more lectures are coming up on Wednesday evenings during April from 7 to 8 p.m.
On April 8, Jada Jackson, Clerk of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, will discuss Quakerism.
On April 15, Shelley DePaul, assistant chief of the Lenape Nation and the administrator of their education program, will discuss the Native American tradition. Shelley teaches the Lenape language at Swarthmore College, has written original music and poetry in the Lenape language, and teaches music in piano, guitar and Native American flute. The Lenape Nation’s cultural center is in Easton, PA.
On April 22, Jim Hammerman will discuss "The Fourth Way," a spiritual practice based on the teachings of George I. Gurdjieff. I checked out the website of the Gurdjieff center in Philadelphia and what popped up but this nice aphorism: "Practice love first on animals; they are more sensitive."
