Soul Matters
Oct. 1, 2009 by hweidner
The chaplains of Wesleyan University—Rabbi David Teva, Sister Marwa Aly, Pastor Joan Burnett, and myself—are offering a six session non-credit course on Mondays…Oct 5, 12, 19///Nov. 2, 9, 16 at 4:15-5:45 PM. We plan a panel, discussion with snacks, student journaling, covering love of neighbor, pursuit of happiness, the identity of women, and the controversial texts of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
This will be a first for all four of us at Wesleyan. Last semester, Sister Marwa and I offered a delightful seminar on Mary, the Mother of Jesus, from the Bible and the Qu’aran. So now the four of us will wade into this hoping that the example of dialogue we give, the questions we respond to, and what the students take away will add a pinch or two a more peaceful, compassionate world.
