DESCRIPTION:\n"Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will." 
 — James Stephens\n"The cure for boredom is curiosity." --- Dorothy Parke
 r\n\nWow... a cure for boredom and fear?!  Why then\, in mainstream relig
 ious thought\, is so little made of curiosity?  Is this oversight\, or is
  it by design?  \nFor the inquisitive mind\, curiosity is a foundational 
 practice.  Whether in science or in religion -- or in relationships and h
 istory -- curiosity is a doorway to deeper understanding.\nThis morning\, 
 we'll continue our exploration of curiosity by being cuious not only about
  what is in front of us but also about what came before.  Curiosity invit
 es us to direct our wonder downstream toward the future but also upstream 
 toward the past\, the winding path through generations that has delivered 
 us to where we are today.  Curiosity as spiritual practice can open up na
 rrow narratives and root us in deep appreciation of the present.  \nCurio
 sity has shaped our tradition in important ways.  Rev. Jason &amp\; Worsh
 ip Associate Jackie Shanti will invite us to consider how we got to where 
 we are today\, individually and collectively.\n--------\nWorship Leader: R
