Cathedral Commons: Meeting God In Our Busy Lives: The Theology and Practice of Zimzum

September 25, 2024 @ 6:45 pm - 8:15 pm

WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2024, 6:45–8:15P.M., (as Cathedral Commons) in person in Bloedel Hall and online via Zoom.

FACILITATED BY THE REV. PHIL LABELLE BISHOP-ELECT OF THE DIOCESE OF OLYMPIA

With overly-packed schedules, many of us wonder if we’ll ever be able to live the lives we yearn for. A life with space for the important things. With a connection to God, others, and the natural world. Jewish mystics suggest that God’s first act of creation was zimzum, a sacrificial self-withdrawal. God needed to open up space within God’s self before God could call forth the cosmos. What might that concept mean for us who are made in the image of God? Join the Rev. Phil LaBelle for an exploration of the Jewish mystical concept of zimzum, and what it can mean for us today.

Join online using this Zoom link.

Program is free; optional community dinner at 6 p.m. ($8/adult; $25/family max.)
