Eudaimonia: Human Flourishing – The Greeks wrestled with the idea, early Church Fathers connected the concept to Scripture, Thomas Jefferson used it as a framework for the Declaration of Independence, C.S. Lewis processed it in light of a modern world. Eudaimonia cannot be completely translated into English. But, the idea is closest to well-being or human flourishing. This is not simply financial; it is a deep sense of purpose of living the ideal good. This Sunday, Pastor David will relate this concept to scripture and how one can attain this only through living beyond the threshold, known as liminal space, only through Jesus. “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” 1 John 1:2
