In this Unitarian Universalist Pride Sunday sermon, Rev. T. J. Fitzgerald weaves together the story of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, queer theology, and the lived realities of LGBTQ+ people.

Fitzgerald explores how heroism, guilt, and survival are central to both superhero stories and queer existence.

Hilary welcomes Theatre Practitioner, Museum Creator, Producer & Writer Jolie Booth to discuss theater and creativity as a spiritual path. Jolie details her journey into theater and fooling, beginning with a near death experience as a child, and discusses the fool archetype and its role in speaking uncomfortable truths. She shares her experiences conducting question-based circle plays designed to merge the inner and outer infinities, and speaks about the power of group ceremony and the relationship between creation and destruction. She then shares her personal experience with infertility and finding healing through two very different ayahuasca ceremonies. They close by discussing the play she wrote about three women accused of witchcraft that she performs in locations around the UK where accused witches were actually tortured and executed. From cosmic orgasms and therapeutic theater to reality as a simulation, this episode is full of fascinating stories and hard-won creative insights that will inform, inspire and empower. Jolie Booth began her creative career working at an award-winning Tudor Re-enactment called Kentwell Hall. In 2003 she established Kriya Arts, a cutting-edge arts and production company, whose aim is to make the world a more compassionate and extraordinary place. In 2008 she began working with the world-famous fool Jonathan Kay as his Director of Fooling and then trained and performed with him, living on the road touring the UK and Europe for seven years. Together they created the Nomadic Academy for Fools. From 2012 onward Jolie produced and performed in many award-winning fringe theatre shows including Backstage in Biscuit Land by Touretteshero, TESTOSTERONE for Rhum & Clay and Kit Redstone, her own one woman show HIP, and has just returned from touring her new play Sisterhood. She is the co-creator and director of a pop-up museum called the Museum of Ordinary People and in the last few years has had three novels published; The Girl Who'll Rule the World, Never Worn and, to go with the play, Sisterhood the novel. Connect with her on Patreon, where she supports and nurtures people's creativity - https://www.patreon.com/JolieBooth or her website www.kriyaarts.co.uk

The Grapes of Wrath, based on John Steinbeck’s classic novel, is a powerful exploration of human dignity, social justice, and the pursuit of a better life.

It calls us to act with compassion and empathy toward those who suffer and to advocate for justice in the world. Join us for our summer sermon series as we journey through the realms of faith, humanity, and the divine, illuminated by the magic of film. During the week, we gather in community to view a diverse selection of films that captivate the heart and mind.

In the final sermon in our Faith & Film series, Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter explores what it means to live courageously in a world that often demands our silence and compliance.

The influence of theosophical and mystical principles permeates the poetry of the Rokhani Period, extending beyond its initial literary manifestation to subsequent poetic schools. This study delves into the concept of "death before death" within selected works of the esteemed poet Mirza Khan Ansari from the Rokhani Period. Referred to as "spiritual birth" in philosophy and "TAWALUD-E-MANAWI" in Farsi Dari, this theory is notably prevalent in Ansari's poetry. Central to Muslim belief is the anticipation of doomsday, underpinned by a commitment to truthfulness and righteousness. The imperative of preparing for death, abstaining from wrongdoing, aiding fellow beings, upholding the rights of Allah, and numerous other tenets all encapsulate the essence of "death before death." Thus, this research underscores the significance and urgency of exploring this theme. Through a meticulous examination conducted primarily in library settings, this paper elucidates how Mirza Khan's poetry embodies the theory of spiritual birth. It advocates for the prioritization of spiritual over physical birth and emphasizes the necessity of preparing for death as a transformative process. Employing descriptive and analytical methodologies, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between mortality and spirituality.

Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary Doctor of Ministry Thesis-Project Abstract: The project was designed to analyze the potential impact of using a Great Books approach on the spiritual formation of college students at the University of Valley Forge, which is affiliated with the Assemblies of God. The role of questions in exploring classical texts to discern their usefulness for discipleship was queried. This project utilized works such as Dante’s Divine Comedy , Augustine’s Confessions , John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress , C.S. Lewis’ Screwtape Letters , Plato’s Republic , various Church Fathers’ writings, and the Bible. Students were exposed to the ongoing “Great Conversation” according to their willingness to read, reflect, and discuss the material. A positive outcome was achieved based on the collective feedback from over 250 students and several participating colleagues.

Babe, the heartwarming story of a pig who dreams of becoming a sheepdog, reminds us that kindness, empathy, and the courage to be ourselves are at the heart of transformation. Through Babe’s journey, we are invited to reflect on the importance of compassion and how it transcends species, class, and expectations. The film underscores the power of love and understanding in breaking down barriers and fostering meaningful connections. Join us for our summer sermon series as we journey through the realms of faith, humanity, and the divine, illuminated by the magic of film.

ABSTRACT  The project was designed to analyze the potential impact of using a Great Books approach on the spiritual formation of college students at the University of Valley Forge, which is affiliated with the Assemblies of God. The role of questions in exploring classical texts to discern their usefulness for discipleship was queried. This project utilized works such as Dante’s Divine Comedy, Augustine’s Confessions, John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, C.S. Lewis’ Screwtape Letters, Plato’s Republic, various Church Fathers’ writings, and the Bible. Students were exposed to the ongoing “Great Conversation” according to their willingness to read, reflect, and discuss the material. A positive outcome was achieved based on the collective feedback from over 250 students and several participating colleagues.

The heavens or higher planes are not located in some abstract 'elsewhere' countless light-years away, but rather they are within us, accessed within the temple of the human body, are within all human beings... thus meditation... thus the need to discover the complete meditation practice by which we may access these realms, the Kingdom of God within (Inner Space).

This research replicated a previous mixed-methods exploratory study of spirituality and spiritual development (Yocum, 2014). 339 participants at two southeastern United States universities were administered a Likert-scale survey to collect data to explore the correlations between the existing components of the proposed spiritual development framework. Qualitative confirmation was obtained via 20 interviews from 10 participants at each university. Recurrent themes from interviews were identified that allow for a greater comprehension of spirituality and its role in educational success. The research evinces significant correlations between the spiritual development framework components. Phenomenological perspectives about the intersection of spiritual needs and education are presented that will be helpful in informing educators about connecting with students on a spiritual level in ways that may enhance educational successes.
