October 28 - THE LANDSCAPE OF HUMAN POTENTIAL What if we took everything that all the various cultures have to tell us about the human potential - about spiritual growth, psychological growth, social growth, etc? What if, further, we attempted to find all the essential pathways to these areas of human development? Utilizing the full range of resources that modernity makes available, what practices might we follow to awaken our slumbering potentials and to facilitate human evolution? Reverend Emeritus Ernie Pipes presents this subject and will lead us in a discussion. Lenore Snodey will moderate this morning.
