Blessed are the poor in spirit...for theirs

This coming Sunday, June 7, our presenter will be 1st Presbyterian's very own, Rebecca Nunley. Rebecca's talk will focus on early transcriptions of the beatitudes. Here's her synopsis:


"For over 25 years Dr. Neil Douglas Klotz has pursued studying the Middle Eastern cultures and languages. His work translating original Aramaic scripture to English has been particularly fruitful. On June 7, I will introduce the first beatitude for discussion and comparison. The KJV translation "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven"

Rebecca Nunley was introduced to body prayer in 2000 and soon found the Dances of Universal Peace where she began training as a supervised leader in 2002. Rebecca is also a student of the Abwoon Interspiritual Leadership Program with Neil Douglas Klotz and Wisdom University of California. Rebecca leads dances with the Asheville Dance Cirle, annual URI meetings, and every other month in Elizabethton.

Please know that you'll be warmly welcomed to join us at 9:45
