“From Stillness to Bold Action: Practicing Mature Spirituality in Troubled Times”

Reverend MaryBeth Redmond Guest Minister
Warren Baker, Worship Associate

 

This New Year’s reflection draws on the interspiritual wisdom of Brother Wayne Teasdale, who explored what it means to become a truly mature spiritual person in a fractured world. This service will weave Teasdale’s elements of spiritual maturity together with Unitarian Universalist commitments to justice, compassion, and earth care. Together we will explore how contemplative practice and courageous action can deepen and sustain one another in our personal lives and in our shared public witness.

 

Marybeth Redmond is an ordained interfaith/interspiritual minister and certified spiritual director who currently serves as the director of community experience for Closer Than Breath, an online contemplative community. She has been a practitioner of Centering Prayer, Lectio Divina, yoga, and the Christian contemplative path for many years.
