Is something changing in where we place our trust? While we used to trust in institutions like governments and banks, today we increasingly rely on others, often strangers, on platforms like Airbnb and Uber, and through technologies like the blockchain. Could this new era of trust bring with it a more transparent, inclusive and accountable society?We'll explore and discuss these concepts today with LFUU member Kate Leith.
In religious circles, “trust talk” often revolves around having faith that a higher power is looking after us. However, for those without such beliefs, the concept and daily practice of trust can be more complicated and nuanced. Whom do we trust, to what degree do we trust, and more importantly WHY do we trust some people and institutions but not others? Let's meet together to define terms and begin to put a framework around our monthly theme of TRUST. Lake Fellowship Member Don Penn will lead today's program.
Nearly 8 years ago, Lake Fellowship member Marnie Karger introduced us to the brand new theology called Possibilianism. Created in 2009 by neuroscientist David Eagleman, Possibilianism neither supports or denies the existence of a supernatural, and instead embraces uncertainty and encourages active exploration in an attempt to learn more about what we know and don't know about all that is around us. Today, Marnie is back to check back in with Possibilianism, and see how we might use its tenants within and outside of our spiritual life.
Steve Fredlund’s spiritual journey includes decades as a Christian conservative evangelical leader. But nagging questions grew (fueled by a trip to Rwanda) resulting in leaving his job as Executive Pastor and, ultimately, the church completely. For six years he did not attend church while embracing the process of deconstruction, which was accompanied by deep grief: lost faith, lost relationships, lost community. Steve felt spiritually hopeless. But eventually hope emerged that perhaps there was hope of feeling spiritual once again.
Being open to possibilities can become a spiritual practice that welcomes others beliefs while being brave enough to share our unique possibilities. This sentiment will be the focus of today's service.
