    As the founders of the US republic make clear in the Declaration of Independence, human beings have an unassailable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

When activit...

  • RESPONSE TO THE OTHER
    ROBERT P. VANDE KAPPELLE
    Human beings seek meaning and purpose. To do so, we tell stories about the past, which we call history, and stories about what will occur in the future, constructed from memory and imagination.

  • THE SECOND JOURNEY
    ROBERT P. VANDE KAPPELLE
    Spirituality is our connection to a greater whole. It is a journey "from God, to God, and with God," and thus a journey toward Self.

  • WALKING ON WATER
    ROBERT P. VANDE KAPPELLE
    How did Jesus do it? we wonder. How did he walk on water? To which we can imagine Jesus responding, "O ye of literal faith.

  • ADDICTION
    ROBERT P. VANDE KAPPELLE
    What is addiction, and how do we know if we are addicted? Speaking sociologically, we are addicted because we live in addictive societies that turn us into consumers and materialists.

  • IN THE POTTER’S WORKSHOP
    ROBERT P. VANDE KAPPELLE
