Sophia's Well of
Wisdom Announces
A Course in
Miracles
Study Group to
Begin August 31
 Local
author Helen Bonner
will facilitate a
weekly study of A
Course In Miracles,
beginning on
Tuesday, August 31st
at 7:00 pm. Rev.
Patsy Walker Fine,
minister at the
interfaith spiritual
center says, "We
are fortunate to
have an experienced
teacher like Helen
Bonner with us. ACIM
has proven to be one
of the most
effective programs
for fostering
spiritual growth,
which then impacts
the quality of one's
life."
Dr. Bonner began
studying A Course In
Miracles in l982,
shortly after the
Text and Workbook
were published, and
since that time has
facilitated study
groups in Los
Angeles, Minnesota,
Bishop and Jackson.
Subtitled: A
Foundation for Inner
Peace, ACIM is not
a handbook for
performing instant
miracles, she says,
but a step by step
study of how we can
bring peace and
tranquility into our
minds, and thus
into our lives.
ACIM has it's roots
in the Biblical
sayings of Jesus,
going further to
show how our own
thinking creates
problems for
ourselves, and how
to change that
thinking. "Over
time, ACIM changes
lives. I can
testify to that with
my own life, and the
lives of many of my
student/teachers,"
Bonner says.
Before going to
college, Helen
Bonner was a wife
and mother, a
secretary and news
reporter in the
Placerville area. In
the '70's, she
taught in Community
Colleges in
California and
Texas, then got a
PhD at Ohio
University in 1980
and became a full
professor at
Minnesota State
University, where
she taught, among
other things, World
Literature. "Thats
where I began to see
that all great
religions teach the
same thing -- God is
Love, Love your
neighbor as
Yourself, Help those
Less Fortunate.
Trust. Be
grateful. Forgive
as you are forgiven.
-- But we all find
it difficult to
practice those
simple precepts. The
support of a caring
spiritual group
built around ACIM
helps."
Bonner's last two
books,
First Love Last,
a memoir, and
Cry Dance
