MEETING FOR WORSHIP
Saturday, September 5, 2020, 3:30 p.m. (via Zoom).
This ‘Reading & Discussion’ will discuss the excerpt below from a post by Katie Evans on the blog of the Woodrbooke Centre, “Time and spirituality: what sets our pace?”.
“The problems of having too much or too little to do look like polar opposites, but for me the root of both dissatisfactions is the same way of relating to time: seeing time as an inflexible ration that is my responsibility to spend. This is a scarcity economy where we have time, spend time and lack time; where the hours are as indistinct and interchangeable as pound coins (but unlike pound coins, cannot be saved for later). It’s an instrumentalist approach where we are continually on guard, fighting to get value for time/money.”
