The Changing Face of the Lord
Address - 24 Jun, 2011
As people change, so does their image of the Lord. The "Lord" who is with us in temptation is not necessarily the same "Lord" who gives us peace.

Dr Andrew M.T. Dibb , Bryn Athyn Field House

Responding Affirmatively
Workshop - 7 Jun, 2005
Are you receptive and open to new ideas? Do you strive to be affirmative when listening to others? The Writings for the New Church talk about the "affirmative principle" (Arcana Coelestia 2568). Most of the passages on this subject talk about our approach to the Word of the Lord, asking us to be affirmative to what we read there. But a more careful consideration of this attitude shows that it applies to all facets of life. CD Description: 1-44:52 2-35:00 | By Rt. Rev. Peter Martin Buss, Jr. , Bryn Athyn, Mitchell Performing Arts Center
"Mythos" and "Logos" in the New Church

This workshop attempts to define Mythos and Logos and then explore how they have been used (and possibly misused) in the life of religion.
