Freedom Road

By Rev. Terry Shea On April 25, 2012

“Why do you stay in prison? When the door is so wide open? Move outside the tangle of fear thinking.”  -Rumi

I came across an image this morning and a quote from Rumi on a Facebook page of one of my friends. Thanks to Francois LaMothe. It’s now posted on our fan page. Last week [...]

The Hero Within ME

By Rev. Terry Shea On April 19, 2012

I’m glad to be back. Rev. Marilyn was GREAT and what a great start to this series. Now I get to talk about one of my favourite subjects. I watched the Bill Moyers/Jos. Campbell series more times than I can count; watched Star Wars more times than I will admit to; read and reread Siddhartha, [...]

My hero path …

On April 12, 2012 By Rev. Terry Shea

When I stepped into my first Religious Science Church, the Celebration of Life Centre in 1990, I wasn’t looking for a new church. It was the first Sunday of the New Year and I WAS looking for a new adventure and as it turns out, a new life. Though my career was satisfying, my life [...]

Taizé: Final Approach …

On April 7, 2012 By Rev. Terry Shea

“Where there is no vision, the people perish,” Prov. 29:18


Almost 10 years ago, the United Church of Religious Science, as it was then called, was facing what is known as “organizational death.”  As an institution it was about 6 months away from the financial insolvency which would lead to its ultimate dissolution.  The [...]

Taizé Lead Up: Day 4

On April 5, 2012 By Rev. Terry Shea

I want to begin by placing Taizé and the Vigil in a context that may seem a bit strange. I say strange because I’m about to compare  the Taizé Service to yoga.

First let me say that this points up something VERY curious and even troubling that the only access we have to our own [...]

Taizé Lead Up: Day 3

On April 3, 2012 By Rev. Terry Shea

Yesterday I spoke about the rituals and readings associated with the Easter Vigil as examples of how we share our common myth and  re-enact those myths through ritual.

What is absolutely essential to the Taizé aspect of our celebration is the music. It is the music of Taize, now translated into most languages and avaialble [...]

Taizé Lead Up: Day 2

On April 2, 2012 By Rev. Terry Shea

Think about the Easter Vigil Celebration itself like the “timeline” on your facebook page. It is certainly supposed to have a general theme and a direction but it also serves to remind you of where you have been, the path you have walked who was with you and what has happened to you along the [...]

Taizé

On April 2, 2012 By Rev. Terry Shea

Preparing for this Taizé Service has been a dream come true for me. And I was just informed that it will take place on the 10th anniversary of my arrival at CSL. On some level, I believe it has taken me 10 years to get up the courage to do this. Does that surprise [...]

Differentiation

On March 6, 2012 By Rev. Terry Shea

I’ve been asked to post the “working points” of last Sunday’s Lesson to the blog. It was kind of funny to find myself “putting homework on the board” again after all these years, different classroom, different board. This time it was on a Keynote slide. So here they are.

Differentiation is that process by which [...]

… your tithes and gifts

On February 24, 2012 By Rev. Terry Shea

I’m often asked where we stand on giving to charity. I usually respond in this way, “Giving to need is always possible but tithing is never optional.” What’s the difference.
Last month we split CSL’s tithe between two organizations, The Youth of CSL and their Malawi Schools Project, http://malawischoolproject.org/ and the Canadian Food for [...]
