Little Pond Devotional: A Crisis of Identity, February 12, 1 pm. @ Little Pond 92 S. Penn Dixie Rd. Nazareth, PA 18064.

Little Pond Devotional: A Crisis of Identity, February 12, 1 pm.

Little Pond will be holding a Devotional for one and all on February 12 at 1 pm. The focus of the gathering will be around “A Crisis of Identity” or writings, poetry, and music structured around the letter from the Universal House of Justice (and referred to we Americans as something it would be well served to look into more deeply). We will meet at 1. There will be music — of some sort, still working on that — then discussion, and light refreshments. No Zoom link is planned, as we look for the power of people being physically together.

Prayers, Poetry, Music, Writings from the Sacred Texts — time together to share our feelings and thoughts. Light refreshments following. Please join us.
“The way people think about who they are and how they see their place in the world determine how they relate to others and what they regard as their individual and collective purpose. The crisis of identity is directly related to the spread of prejudice. Today, prejudices of all sorts are surging around the world, infecting the consciousness of millions and despoiling them of their energies. They are polarizing societies at a time when unity is most vital to resolving local, national, and global challenges that seem intractable.”
