Consciousness is the hard problem in physics and other fields. Why is there so much disagreement about the nature of consciousness? What are the current theories concerning consciousness? Does consciousness come from the brain or does it come from a mind that is non-local? These are some of the questions I will explore in this Discovery Circle.
Use the same Zoom link as that for the service above, please!

We are asking for love donations at this time during our online church services to support our work and to allow us to continue through these troubling times.  We are not meeting in person so can't pass around the offering plate to help us with ongoing operating expenses that need to be paid:  partial rent, full insurance, Zoom fees, payment to the national organization, to name a few.
