What has given meaning to my Life

Methodist
minister
Reverend
Auburn
J.
Carr
(1905-­‐1984),
graduated
from
the
Boston
University
School
of
Theology
in
1932,
His
MA
thesis
was
“The
Technique
of
Jesus
in
the
Cure
of
Souls.”
As
a
living
memorial,
I
established
the
CARR
SCHOLARSHIP
IN
SCIENCE
&
RELIGION
at
BUSTh.
His
first
pastorates
were
in
Vermont:
Milton,
Cabot,
and
Richford.
Then
in
Ipswich,
Woburn,
and
Milton,
MA.

4. EXCERPT
FROM
REV.
AUBURN
J.
CARR'S
LETTER
TO
HIS
FATHER,
IRVING
H.
CARR,
11
MARCH
1947.
• The
journey
and
development
of
the
human
soul
involves
considera^on
of
the
"from
everlas^ng
to
everlas^ng."
Each
person
represents
the
outcome
of
countless
preceding
genera^ons-­‐
an
unbroken
line
of
experience.
• Spiritual
strength
has
to
be
measured
by
burdens
carried,
resistances
encountered,
and
frustra^ons
survived.
No
soul's
pilgrimage
can
be
like
another
except
in
the
line
of
each
succeeding
genera^on.
In
all
the
experience
from
one
generaOon
to
another,
I
can
see
that
it
is
not
so
much
events
that
have
significance
as
the
emoOonal
InterpretaOon
of
them.
• The
main
objecOve
is
love.
Therefore
all
things
happen
for
good
when
love
prevails.

6. HINDU
KARMA
Life’s
outcome
is
a
result
of
our
&
other’s
liberty,
free
choice,
decisions.
Freedom
includes
responsibly.

7. Did
Adam
&
Eve
accept
responsibility
for
their
disobedient
sin?

8. For
sin
will
have
no
dominion
over
you,
since
you
are
not
under
law
but
under
grace.

9.
Sallman’s
Christ
(1941)
Faith
in
Jesus
the
Christ
sets
us
free
to
receive:
• GRACE:
When
God
gives
you
something
you
do
not
deserve.
• MERCY:
When
God
keeps
your
from
gehng
what
you
deserve.

RE-­‐ENVISIONING
BEAUTY
Is
beauty
“in
the
eye
of
the
beholder”
or
a
Spiritual
experience?
Without
divinely
created
beauty,
nature
becomes
an
object
that
may
be
ravaged.
For
example,
the
Canadian
tar
sands
can
be
beau^ful
in
the
eyes
of
its
owners
because
it
is
a
source
of
black
gold.

22. RE-­‐ENVISIONING
BEAUTY
Let
us
re-­‐envision
beauty
to
transform
our
relaOonship
with
life
on
earth.
Science
is
based
on
respect
for
nature’s
laws.
Spirituality
engenders
reverence
for
and
the
consecraOon
of
nature,
created,
sustained,
and
redeemed
by
a
Divine
power.
