Healing the Wounds of Fear

Portland Christians with Questions founder Su Elliott will join host Susan Larison Danz for an honest, heartfelt discussion of how fear-based approaches to spirituality and religion can result in lingering wounds that often go unacknowledged and unhealed.  Is it ever helpful to berate people experiencing hardship or illness that they are to blame, either because of their lack of belief, prayer or intent?  Such behavior is commonplace in both the Christian and New Age communities. How does a belief in hell or a violent or indifferent God result in distancing people from a personal experience of the Divine?  How can we transcend the wounds and seek true healing?  Join this provocative discussion in our chat room.  Susan will be facilitating a live support session on this topic at the Portland Body Mind Spirit Expo at the Oregon Convention Center 2:00 PM Sunday, April 17, where Su will also be participating.
