Painting the Stars, A Renaissance of Wonder

Last Sunday we viewed a lesson from the Living the Questions dvd, Painting the Stars. That lesson was on "Healing the Rift," ie., the rift between science and faith. It was good.
This coming Sunday, September 1, we'll view the second lesson, "A Renaissance of Wonder." The study materials include the following:

"Much of modern life is lived in a state of what sociologist Max Weber called
'disenchantment.' By this he meant that over the course of the modern period—
roughly the last 500 years—the cosmos has systematically been voided of
Spirit. A distinctive feature of the modern period is that if somebody were to walk
into your home and find you on your knees praying, or catch you with your arms
flung open in a gesture of thanksgiving to the cosmos you would be
embarrassed. This is the first period in the history of humanity in which this was
true."

and this from Fyodor Dostoyevsky:

"Love all Creation,
The whole of it and every grain of sand
Love every leaf
Every ray of God’s light
Love the animals
Love the plants
Love everything
If you love everything
You will perceive
The divine mystery in things
And once you have perceived it
You will begin to comprehend it ceaselessly
More and more everyday
And you will at last come to love the whole world
With an abiding universal love."

These are but tips of the iceberg. Please join us for what will hopefully be an intelligent, thoughtful discourse on the intersection of science and faith.
