One River, Many Wells: “First Nations Spirituality” by Mark MooreReadings:“The Sacred Hoop” from the vision of Black Elk Oglala Lakota (Sioux) (1863-1950), in Black Elk Speaks by John G. NeihardtFrom the tradition of wisdom sayings attributed to White Buffalo Calf WomanBarbara Brown Taylor writes that “Religions are treasure chests of stories, songs, rituals, and ways of life that have been handed down for millennia.” We each draw deeply from our own tradition, and ours is that of Jesus, rooted in the ethic of the Golden Rule and in the spiritual discipline of loving our neighbor. But we are not alone in the world. The Divine Mystery manifests itself in multiple expressions of beauty, bound in different cultures and unique histories, yet rich in teaching and lessons for living: one river, many wells. What can they teach us about ourselves today? Could other spiritual traditions illuminate our own in new and powerful ways?Each of our twelve Sundays in this series will explore a different world religious tradition.Presented by Trinity Church of AustinOpen Hearts.
