The Inner Life Meaning of Biblical Stories

New Lenox, Illinois, October 17, 2013-- Arlo Compaan, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Jungian psychoanalyst will present an educational series at Grace Episcopal Church in New Lenox on November 10th, 2013. 

 In the history of Christianity, biblical stories have been read in two ways; as stories of outer events and as stories of inner meaning. In this series, of three sessions, Arlo Compann, Ph, D. will explore the meaning of our inner spiritual lives from three biblical stories.

November 10, 2013 at 11:30 am: Longing for the Garden of Eden --Genesis 3

November 17, 2013 at 11:30 am: Accepting Life’s Limitations --Moses at Meribah --Numbers 20

November 24, 2013 at 11:30 am: Called Against Our Will -- Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane -- Luke 22 and Matthew 26

The Inner Life of Biblical Stories will be held at the Grace Episcopal Church at 209 North Pine Street, New Lenox, Illinois.  This series is free and is open to the public.  Refreshments will be served. 

The Reverend Ellen Ekevag, Grace Episcopal Church states, “The Bible resonates with us today, because in these ancient writings there is a deep wisdom which can inform and enlighten the way we live today. Arlo Compaan will invite us on our journey to see how these stories speak to our own soul and inform us as we walk the path of faith.”
