Little Pond Devotional Sunday, March 12 with John Hare - Unity and the Holy Spirit.. @ Little Pond 92 S. Penn Dixie Rd. Nazareth, PA 18064.
2023-03-12 13:00 - 15:00
Dear Friends,
You are warmly invited to our monthly DEVOTIONAL GATHERING AT LITTLE POND,
Sunday March 12 at 1pm. You are also welcome to forward this message to your friends and
bring guests.
Our theme for this Devotional is Unity and the Holy Spirit. We are delighted that Bridget’s brother,
John E. Hare, Noah Porter Professor of Philosophical Theology at Yale University, is joining
us to talk briefly on this theme. It is the topic of his latest book published by Oxford University Press.

Unity and the Holy Spirit investigates the work of the Holy Spirit in the world (as distinct from the church).
John proposes that the Spirit aims at unity of four different kinds: unity between us and the material world,
unity within us, unity between us and others, and unity between us and God. The book ends by asking
why the Spirit aims at unity, and the answer is that the Spirit loves.
“It is the Spirit who is the centre that holds all of these different unities together and continues to be
present in the life of the new heaven and the new earth which is the dwelling place of God.”
– John E. Hare
John’s brief talk will be preceded by our Devotions: Prayers, Poetry, Sacred Texts from different faiths, and Music.
The music includes John playing on our piano the slow movement of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 2. He uses
this in his book as an example of the beautiful and the sublime that “come from God and return us to God
and are the Spirit’s work.”
After his talk, John will lead a group conversation on the topic, followed by light refreshments. Please note, we will
let the assembled people know that this is the time of the Baha’i fast. However, we wanted to provided refreshments
for our guests.
It is helpful for you to let us know ahead of time if you are coming by replying to bridgetgeorge9@gmail.com.
For DIRECTIONS, please go to our website: https://littlepond.org/
We look forward to welcoming you to this very special gathering in the Great Room of the Long Barn at Little Pond.
Bridget and Bill
