SUMMARY:Nurture the Soul's Reading Into the New Year: "Who Told You That You Were Naked" with Rev. Dr. Beverly Dale
DESCRIPTION:Both self-help guide and spiritual inspiration\, “Who Told You That You Were Naked?” is packed with meditations that are biblically grounded and tangibly liberating. Each meditation includes a prayer and prompts for reflection\, with themes focusing on purity culture\, sacred-sexual bodies\, and ethics without repression. This book takes the body’s experiences seriously and honestly\, wrapping readers in love where they are wounded\, inviting holistic reflection on the faith that informs our living\, and encouraging movement to (re)connect the spirit and the flesh. We will get to spend time in the text and enjoy an enlightening conversation with Rev. Dr. Beverly Dale during this hour-long webinar.

SUMMARY:Nurture the Soul What's Next: Befriending Loneliness
DESCRIPTION:Loneliness was brought to the spotlight in 2023\, when the Surgeon General\, Dr. Vivek Murthy\, declared loneliness as an epidemic in post-COVID America. \nWhat does that mean for us now and how might it contribute to the divide we are living through now in the United States and beyond? \nWhat role does loneliness play when remembering the “good old days” in all aspects of our lives\, including our religious lives where our memories are of full pews and offering baskets and even Sunday Schools? \nOur guest\, the Rev. Dwight Lee Wolter\, will explore and help to raise awareness around loneliness\, give us some tools to empower change and move to transform loneliness to a portal of access to empathy\, solidarity\, creativity\, community-building and (you will soon see) fun!
