[st uriel's] Narthex meeting Sunday at 6pm, 15 Francis St - "What is the soul?"

[Fr Tim Mansfield]

Hi folks,

Sunday sees the second meeting of our new "Narthex" group. The narthex of a
church at the door before you enter into the main area of the church. It's
where you gather for a cup of tea after a service, it's often where
discussion groups are held and where you can gather helpful literature.

For all those reasons, we use the term as an metaphor for a group gathering
to study the mysteries of our Tradition.

Come along on Sunday to the Unitarian Centre at 15 Francis St and join us.
Here's what's on the menu:

- some basic breath meditation
- some readings from "The Exegesis on the Soul" and "The Hymn of the Pearl",
two of the key Gnostic texts about the Soul.
- a discussion on the concept of soul in different traditions
- open discussion about our own understanding of our souls

If you'd like to take a look at the two texts, you can find versions of them
here:

If you've always wondered where your soul was, you might find it's been
waiting for you with a cup of tea at St Uriel's. Come join us and find out!

Father Tim+
