[close] Reading Peace is a book club exploring topics in mindfulness and Buddhism in daily life in a way that is accessible and relevant to today. We meet online and offline as a community reading together for the benefit of all beings in order to create a more just and joyful world. We are the official book club of Parallax Press, a nonprofit publisher founded by Thich Nhat Hanh. As a result, group members gain exclusive access to steep discounts on book club picks and other perks every month. The club picks a Parallax Press book to read as a group every month, receiving a significant discount on that book for the duration of the month so that as many people can participate. This group is currently on hiatus.

[close] A space for thoughtful discussion on theology and its relationship to meaning, morality, human psychology, and society. This group welcomes diverse traditions, philosophical inquiry, and reflective dialogue about sacred texts, inner life, ethical questions, and the role of religion in the modern world. The goal is not preaching or debate for victory, but understanding, exploration, and respectful exchange of ideas. Remember that respect comes first. Disagree with ideas, not with people. No insults, ridicule, or hostility toward beliefs or non-belief. Feel free to share perspectives, interpretations, and experiences, but this is a discussion space, not a place to persuade others to adopt a faith, so basically no preaching or conversion attempts. Stay thoughtful and on topic, posts should relate to theology, meaning, morality, sacred texts, psychology of belief, or religion in society. Interpretations are welcome, claims of absolute authority are not. All comments and conversations must be in English. Don’t hesitate to open a topic under any theme that has already been featured. If you’re unsure where your topic belongs, you’re welcome to ask in the open discussion under the thread titled “Topic Creation”.
