SUMMARY:Finding Your Spiritual Freedom (Free Event)
LOCATION:Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 20% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nMLK Library - Room 401F\n\nIs religion something we simpl
 y inherit? Or are true faith and spirituality things that each and every o
 ne of us must ultimately find for ourselves?\n\nTrace back the history in 
 the religious beliefs of almost any tribe\, race\, people or nation and yo
 u will inevitably find someone amongst their ancestors who was the first t
 o believe – someone who did not automatically accept and blindly follow pa
 st tradition and who questioned what came before and headed towards a new 
 path – and maybe even faced severe difficulties or even persecution for do
 ing so. Looking far enough back even in our own families we can each likel
 y find someone who sought answers to questions left unanswered by the trad
 itions of their own upbringing. And though that search is not always easy\
 , shouldn’t we each have the right and even the obligation to seek out our
  own spiritual path\, to investigate spiritual truths for ourselves? In do
 ing so\, does that mean we have to abandon who we are – or can this search
  actually lead to finding our truest selves?\n\nCome join a different kind
  of conversation – one that welcomes every perspective in a search for the
  truths that unite us all – as we discuss the spiritual perspective offere
 d by the Bahá’í Teachings on the role of the independent investigation of 
 truth in our spiritual journeys. Join us for a lively discussion as we exp
 lore how even amidst so many competing ideas and ideologies we can each ta
 ke steps forward in finding the light of truth.\n\n“All are seeking truth\
 , and there are many roads leading thereto. Truth has many aspects\, but i
 t remains always and forever one.” – Bahá’í Teachings\n\n\\ This event is 
 free and open to all regardless of background or belief. Donations will no
 t be accepted.
