Cosmology/Worldview

MANY FRIENDS have become intensely interested in the implications of the New Universe Story or New Cosmology, as illuminated by recent discoveries in physics and the life sciences that confirm what many ancient wisdom traditions have always maintained, that everything that exists is in fundamental unity with everything else, in a creatively unfolding universe.

We offer at this time an article, "The Great Story," by Mary Coelho, from the QEW book, Earthcare for Friends, a Study Guide for Individuals and Faith Communities.

Also from the same chapter is Mary's description of the Cosmic Walk and other illustrative activities
