September 9 –
ASTONISHMENT – one of the experiences that keeps us human. What are
the forces that seek to contain our sense of awe? How do we counteract
those forces and encourage the urges that keep us astonished at life? Here
are some reflections on staying awake as human beings. The speaker today
is Rev. Jim Conn. He is a friend to our fellowship. He is a
social activist. He started the Church in Ocean Park in Santa Monica where
he at one time was the Mayor of the city. Bob Johnson will be Moderator.

COMMON GROUND -- How an Interfaith philosophy can move us toward
peace. Rev. Teri Masters is an ordained Interfaith minister. She

currently an intern in Pastoral Counseling at the Good Samaritan Counseling
Center in San Pedro. Lest you think she is all seriousness, she will sing
at the drop of a hat and is a member of Vox Femina Los Angeles, one of the
country’s premiere women’s choruses. Linda Klein will moderate.
