SUMMARY:Faithful Voter Weekly Online Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:As people of faith and conscience\, we believe elections are a referendum on the values that will shape our future. How can we renew our fragile democracy? How do we honor the human dignity of every person? Will we protect our Sacred Earth and our children’s future? What policies will prioritize the common good and confront future crises that remind us of our interdependence? Many of the defining moral issues of our time are on the ballot: faltering democratic institutions\, too much wealth in the hands of a few\, damage to the climate\, cruel immigration policies that tear families apart\, mass incarceration that devastates communities of color\, senseless gun violence\, and threats to global public health and security. These challenges are daunting. To move forward in a spirit of hope\, and to resist despair and cynicism\, join this weekly discussion group where we’ll navigate the urgent moral questions raised by the coming election\, allowing you to discern your path forward. Can’t make it every week? Join as you are able\, or for those topics most of interest to you. The topic for each week’s discussion is given below. All attendees receive an electronic copy of the Faithful Voter Reflection Guide from Interfaith Power & Light\, plus supplemental materials provided by the facilitator.

SUMMARY:Garden Tour & Prayer with Eyes Wide Open
DESCRIPTION:Experience a private guided tour of the Houston Botanic Garden\, followed by practice of the nature-based Christian spiritual discipline of prayer with eyes wide open. Prayer with eyes wide open is a very meaningful way to deepen spirituality through nature\, and nurture a loving relationship with the earth. Through prayer that engages with the world around us\, instead of shutting out that world\, we begin to see ourselves as loving participants within a rich web of life\, and gain the wisdom needed to heal ourselves and renew our broken relationship with the Earth. In this time of extraordinary ecological challenge\, spiritual tools to strengthen ties with our planet are precious. Add prayer with eyes wide open to your spiritual toolbox! This activity is for a small group and space is limited. Note that a ticket to this event does not cover the garden admission fee\, which must be paid separately by each participant. Register on www.eventbrite.com at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/garden-tour-prayer-with-eyes-wide-open-tickets-405628354327. Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions.
