Our group of 9 members, with one apology and one absent, met in room W4 at 1:30 pm till 3:00 pm. After some housekeeping from President Terry Case and brief introductions from the group members we watched just over half of the animated musical movie “Sita Sings the Blues.” This movie is a parallel story about the love lives of two women, one the American writer/director Nina Paley and Sita, the Hindu Goddess who was treated rather badly by her husband Rama. This was not a particularly religious movie but it was chosen as an entertaining introduction to the vagaries of religion and life in general.
After some brief discussion about the movie we spoke about what topics the group should study in coming sessions. Some of the topics will include the American Amish communities, Druids and the ancient Mithraic religion. For our March session the main topic/study will be to define the origins and purposes of religions and how they manifest in the world today.
Our meeting time has been confirmed as 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm with the option of staying an extra half hour to 3:30 if required on the day.
