[close] I'm challenging myself to diversifying my reading list in 2024. When it comes to reading, I stay in my fluffy fiction comfort zone because my work reading can get very serious and depressing. But work has dried up at the moment and I've decided to seize this as an opportunity to step out of that comfort zone and expose myself to the variety of authors out there. I'm making this space to keep myself accountable and if others want to join, that's great! Diversification can look different depending on your positionality. For me, I'm seeking authors outside the white, straight, neurotypical, North American experience. This is what I have so far: January: neurodivergent author February: South Asian author March: Asian author April: LGBTQ+ author May: African author June: book about mental illness July: Transgender author August: South American author September: Disabled author October: Black or African American author November: Middle Eastern author December: Oceanic author (Photo taken from Flickr: https://flickr.com/photos/aadl/6777694048/)

[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. And don't forget that we also have a Cafetaria for casual conversation or introductions in the Open Discussion section.
