October 11, 2026: Indiana, Land of the Indians

More Details See Recording

Dr. Stephanie Kimball and the Indigenous Studies Working Group
Euro-American and traditional indigenous attitudes toward land differ greatly: One sees it as property, as something to control and conquer; the other sees it as a partner, as something to nurture and live alongside. What can we learn from the latter?

October 18, 2026: Rediscovering Humility

More Details Live Stream or in person!

Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray
Humility is an important characteristic of spiritual and psychological maturity. Yet it is often misunderstood in ways that cause people to diminish themselves and their own light, joy, and confidence. How can we understand humility in ways that are life honoring?

  • Noah's Ark Meeting - Room 112

    Tuesday, October 13, 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM
    Noah's Ark Interfaith discussion groups started around 2016. At first there were over 10 groups of 10 people who gathered monthly to talk about their faith's interpretation of various topics. The deep listening model was employed to give everyone a chance to talk about their own faith tradition and to hear about the others. Groups were chosen with the intent of having 10 different faiths represented in each group. These groups continued for a year and several groups continued past one year. To our knowledge, there is only one group that has continued meeting to date.
    The current group includes Catholic, Christian Science, Bahai, Jewish, Unitarian Universalist, Atheist members. Membership is generally closed, but if you want to be included when there is an opening, Ruellen Fessenbecker would be happy to talk with you about the group.
