Thursday, February 9, 7:30 PM(snow date: Thursday, February 16) Chris Loughlin“A Sense of Place”Chris
Loughlin lives and works at Crystal Spring, a learning center where
people of good will are welcome to search for ways to live in harmony
with the natural world and with each other. She coordinates programs
exploring the “new cosmology” while working with Religious Orders to
preserve their lands. In the act of acknowledging the connection and
dependency we have with the web of life lies the possibility of a deep
and abiding communion. As author Wendell Berry has written, “You can’t
know who you are until you know where you are.” The process of
discovering and achieving a sense of place is surely one of the most
important steps in coming home to place. An evening to reflect
upon where that we may rediscover who. Please come and welcome
Chris Loughlin to First Parish. Chris will be speaking about our sense
of place, what that means and why it important to look at a positive
harmony between humans and the environment. We are a part of nature not
separate from it. When we feel that relationship we are more apt to
want to be proactive and then will support our local farmers,
businesses that are environmentally friendly and support sustainable
practices. All are welcome.

“The Way”
a film starring Martin Sheen,
directed by Emilio Estevez
A
truly moving and deeply spiritual film, The Way chronicles one man’s
journey on the the Camino de Santiago, the famous Spanish pilgrimage
route to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, also known
as the Way of St. James. Beautifully filmed and wonderfully acted, The
Way does a masterful job of exploring in a sometimes probing, sometimes
lighthearted way, deep questions of faith, spirituality, family, and
interpersonal growth and relationships. Watching this film is a
wonderful way to begin preparing for the season of Easter. All are
welcome.
