BUDDHIST MEDITATION GROUP Rev. Marcia Curtis leads a weekly Buddhist Meditation Group on Mondays from 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. We'll be meeting in the Sanctuary. Everyone is welcome! Each session will include a guided meditation, a dharma talk or practice discussion, and a time for silent meditation. Marcia began her meditation practice in 1987, and has been teaching Buddhist mindfulness meditation for more then 10 years, in UU congregations, a prison, and a psychiatric hospital. She also teaches the 8-week course in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, and is willing to teach the course at BUC if there is sufficient interest. Please come to the weekly Monday night meditation session if you are interested... or call Marcia at 312-431-0387 if you are unable to attend a Monday evening session.

ATHEISM DISCUSSION GROUP Last month, we advertised for people interested in starting a discussion group on atheism. We have only a few members yet, so while we are looking for others to join we started a blog to keep up interest and start some dialogue. And, so we don’t get stuck in our own echo chamber, we would like to invite some ‘believers’ to visit the blog and offer comments on the various posts. The blog address is http://chicagoatheists.blogspot.com. Take a look, make a comment, and let us know what you think. Troy Lair
