Antonia Andreoli wants everyone to know that they are back in the church! – Lil
After three months of energy-saving services up at our Hastings House, we return to the church on Main Street on Easter Sunday.
April 5’s Easter Service will be led by our minister Lisa Mobayed. She writes: “at Easter, some of us wonder whether to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus, nature’s renewal happening all around us, or a gift-bearing bunny. We will explore how these different understandings of Easter are mutually supporting and enhancing.”
April 12 we will welcome Rev. Bill Nelson, a visiting minister from Springfield, Vermont.
On April 19, Minister Mobayed will lead the service, Greening Power: “Nine hundred years ago the Christian mystic, Hildegard of Binger, developed ideas about life’s generative force, how it flows through us and through the world. She called it viriditas, or the green truth, and expressed in word, music and art its healing and life-giving properties – accessible to each and everyone of us.”
On April 26: The Better Angels of Our Nature: Charles Butterfield, All Souls Church, West Brattleboro, will explore one psychologist’s interpretation of Abraham Lincoln’s famous reference to “the better angels of our nature.” Stephen Pinker identifies those angels as empathy, self-control, the moral sense and reason. He argues that those four components of our collective psyche have made and are making our world less violent than we suppose.
