Thirsty? Drink up the good news and good brews at Pyramid Alehouse in Walnut Creek as we discuss Catholic spirituality, unfiltered. Ages 21-35 only. Admission free with purchase.
Topic: Authentically Eastern, Authentically Catholic
How do New Age interpretations of spirituality distort our understanding of both Eastern and Western traditions? How is Catholic Christianity authentically expressed in Eastern cultures? In Christ, East and West meet in harmony, enriching and enlivening each other. Join us as we explore three themes:
Cultivating a deep spiritual foundation within our native traditions before exploring other traditions.
Practicing humility and openness as we encounter God in the “other”.
Experiencing faith within reason and beyond reason.
