  • Metaphysical Bible Interpretation Workshop

    At the UPA Learning Center & on Zoom Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, CA, United States

    A Workshop with Rev. John Riley
    Sunday, 3/30 @ Noon - 2:00 pm
    In person or on Zoom
    Register Today!

    Unity considers the Bible to be its basic textbook for the teaching of Truth and a manual for unfolding the human soul. While Unity encourages readers of the Bible to study it as a historical document, our main approach to biblical study is metaphysical. In other words, we look for the spiritual meaning underlying everything. In doing so, we see the people, places, and events mentioned in the Bible as representative of an idea or a state of consciousness.

    This workshop will introduce you to a step-by-step method for metaphysically interpreting and applying the meanings to your life. It is a prerequisite for our upcoming monthly Metaphysical Bible Interpretation group.
