June Addendum 2009

URI GLOBAL COUNCIL ONLINE

The Global Council of the United Religions Initiative (URI) has been meeting this week at Vallambrosa. Representatives from around the world, together with URI staff will join together for a Reunion & Blessing Celebration on Thursday, June 11, at 3:00 pm (PST), a service organized by the Interfaith Center and URI.

People are welcome to join the group at the Presidio Interfaith Chapel if they wish. But for those who might not be able to make the journey, there is now the option of viewing the service in an online webcast from the Interfaith Center at the Presidio.  Simply go to www.interfaith-presidio.org, and click on the “Video Center” buttton. This is a real-time webcast only, so it is necessary to link in during the event.

ICP also hopes to webcast the final session of their ongoing series on Joseph Campbell and the Mythic Tradition. This last gathering, featuring Don Frew of the Wiccan tradition reflecting on "The Mystical Life," will take place Monday evening, June 22, 7:00- 9:00 pm.

The Interfaith Center at the Presidio hopes to make more events available online through this new capability. Watch for announcements of upcoming events.
