​This week's theme:

August 16 Alicia Jaromin
Compliments/thankfulness or mindful thankfulness

"I’m going to do a metta meditation (loving kindness meditation) optional, of course, at the beginning. Everyone will need to think of a person they have loving or caring feelings toward, someone they have no specific feelings toward, someone who they have recently had a disagreement with and optionally someone whom they have negative feelings for or have been hurt by. They will wish each of these people well and move on. 

I’m going to discuss complimenting others or being thankful of others' talents. Then I’m going to open it up for people to mention something they appreciate about or have been thankful for about someone on the call and have everyone share things we enjoy about each other."

- Alicia

The Woman in the White Kimono by Ana Johns

The Woman in the White Kimono is told in two timelines.

The first is Japan in the1950s. Naoko Nakamura’s arranged marriage to the son of a friend of her father is important to reinforce the status of her family in the community; however, Naoko loves another. She’s in love with a gaijin, an American sailor.

​The second timeline takes place in present day US. Tori Kovac’s father is terminally ill, and she is his caretaker. She finds a letter with a shocking secret, which motivates her to travel to Japan to discover the truth.

​Please join us for discussion and camaraderie even if you have not read or completed the book.

​Our Vision and Our Mission

All Souls Church is open and accepting, where all are welcome and valued. As a happily diverse community, we attempt to remain engaged with each other's differing views. We learn while sharing, remaining open to rational argument or spiritual enlightenment. Our Vision is to be an open-minded spiritual community that celebrates diversity and lives successfully with both its gifts and challenges. We seek to understand and appreciate the great diversity of people and ideas in the world.
​
​Our Mission. With our vision in mind, Our Mission, as All Souls Church, is to come together in community, to create opportunities for spiritual expression and exploration, to learn with and from each other, and to make a difference in the world. We welcome all people to our spiritual community without discrimination on the basis of race, gender, age, color, national origin, religious heritage, ethnic background, socioeconomic status, marital status, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity. Grounded in our Unitarian Universalist principles and purposes, we affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every person.
