losing our religion


i have noticed that a lot of people i talk to these days are less and less comfortable declaring themself a member of any one particular faith tradition/church/denomination. however, many of these people are equally shy of declaring that there is nothing more to this life than what we can engage with one-or all-of our 5 senses. therefore the word 'spiritual' seems a more comfortable term. but what does that mean?
is it as wide open as the title suggests? is it a one-word rejection of organized religion and all that such institutions stand for? is it a way of getting one's soul-cake and eating it too?
who knows? and that's why we're talking about it at immersion tonight....
we've gathered art from a variety of places that we're going to spend time looking at...we've got some musicians from far away milton to come and sing...we have coffee from nicaragua and food from sobeys and a story that is over 2000 years old to reflect upon.
all opinions count as they, quite frankly, are what makes a community function. hope you can join us and, if not, stay tuned to the ol' blog for a recap of what happened tonight.
laterdays.
