MYSTICAL HEART OF CHRISTIANITY:
MOVING BEYOND LITERALISM
Friday, October 31 to Sunday, November 2, 2008
Holyoke Holiday Inn
Holyoke, Massachusetts
Come join us at our National Conference, Mystical Heart of Christianity: Moving Beyond Literalism, for a stimulating exploration of esoteric Christianity. This is a wonderful opportunity to join with kindred spirits to explore and define the profound truths that lie at the heart of Christianity.
The Theosophical Society is pleased to be able to sponsor this conference, which supports our objectives of promoting the universal brotherhood of all humanity, and exploring more deeply the truths to be found in religious traditions. In this conference we will focus on the inner side of Christianity in an effort to exchange walls for bridges and separatist language for inclusive words.
Our speakers are an eclectic mixture of fascinating vantage points. We will be shown why many of us are becoming more conscious of Sophia, the feminine principle of creation. We will be given a much closer look at the “Man of Light.” We will be asked to consider the differences between what is esoteric and what is mystical. We will explore long-suppressed Christian beliefs from Russia, which blend Christianity with ancient magical practices.
Hop on a plane, take the train, or drive in your automobile: just join us. No matter how far away you live, the journey begins when you get here.
Betty Bland, President
