Dear Friends: I just finished intensive studies in pastoral care and counseling and believe now more than ever, that the last thing we all need is to only attend "church" as it has developed over the years. Although I am the Senior pastor at a wonderful church on the West side of Manhattan in the West Village, I really enjoy sitting together in s a small group. Perhaps sitting in a pew is not the enemy, however, I have found that sitting together in small groups and sharing with each other vario …

You see yourself as a deep thinker and thrive in rich conversations. This group is established to bring together people who enjoy deep thought and the huge realizations that …

Whether you are a scientist, a journalist, a politician, a corporate-decision maker, an educator, or just someone …
