GLOBAL SPIRITUALITY

During the fall of 2012 the La Selva Beach Community Church sponsored an eight-week interfaith series on Global Spirituality, which provided a brief introduction to major world religious and spiritual traditions. Each session of the course began with a brief historical context provided by Robert Strayer, followed by a presentation from a practitioner from that tradition. While we were unable to video the first two presentations, the final six sessions have been recorded and posted below.
