At the end of November, CARP Indiana held their first CARP event! It was a Thanksgiving dinner where CARP was officially introduced to all the participants, followed by some games, sharing of reflections, and good food. In total, there were 22 attendees.
The hope and intention for this gathering was to create a space where the people who have been doing one-on-one Divine Principle studies can have a place where they can connect and experience a sense of community amongst CARP.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, there was a general atmosphere of gratitude and love. Everyone shared gratitudes they had from the year and also what they learned especially through the one-on-one studies. One participant shared how he was happy to know that God doesn’t only have masculine characteristics but also feminine ones. Another person also shared how inspired he was to know that science and religion can come together.
The dinner was a great turnout with lots of bonding, laughter, reflection, and food!
