The Best Cannot Be Told, Part 4

Speaker:

Celebrant: Chris Scheibe
Media: George Rogers-Clark

The opening lines of Tao Te Ching, as rendered by Stephen Mitchell, read: “The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.” These statements connect to one of scholar Joseph Campbell’s main themes, namely, his understanding that “religious language” is necessarily symbolic, a theme which this service will explore.

This is a companion service to three previous ones on themes of Joseph Campbell. To listen to these, check our SUUF PodBean website. Service begins at 10:30 a.m.

A Zoom link will be emailed to members and friends!
