Sunday At First Church: Old Psyche And Soul

From Bill Roberts.
-------------------
You are invited to...
A CONVERSATION ABOUT PSYCHOLOGICAL AND  SPIRITUAL VITALITY IN THE ELDER YEARS

.... at First Church in Middletown, 190 Court Street, this coming  Sunday, October 19th until 1:00. It will begin with brief presentations by six panelists:   in an extended Second Hour – from 11:30  

Karl Scheibe, Richard Engelhardt, Virginia  Houghtaling,, (all members of First Church and  psychotherapists in Middletown)....  

Jeremy Zwelling (retired Professor of Religion and  Director of Jewish Studies at Wesleyan), Dr. Richard  Lewis (an M.D. Psychiatrist and Jungian Analyst with  offices in Guilford and New Haven), and Bill Roberts  (former minister of First Church).

C.G. Jung, the Swiss depth psychologist, believed that each season of  life had its own particular challenges.  

“A human being would certainly not grow to be seventy  or eighty years old if this longevity has no meaning for the  species. It is neurotic to resist the imperatives of one’s  advancing age. “


We cannot live the afternoon of life according to the  program of life’s morning for what in the morning was true  will by the afternoon become a lie.... Whoever carries over  into the afternoon the law of the morning.... must pay with  damage to his soul.”
