Beloved Community in an Age of Artificial Intelligence – The Wisdom of Martin Buber (Deep Dive Sunday)

Rev Lee Anne Washington

From I-It to I-You: Practicing Presence:

Over the past several weeks, we have been exploring the wisdom of Martin Buber, who taught that life’s deepest meaning is found not in what we use or manage, but in how we meet one another. In a world shaped by speed, efficiency, and increasingly mediated relationships, Buber’s insight invites us to practice presence—to notice when our interactions become purely transactional and to choose, when we can, deeper attentiveness, listening, and care. Deep Dive Sunday offers a chance to learn and practice deep listening skills as well as a chance to reflect on how adopting Buber’s perspective can enhance how we relate to one another, our communities, and the world we inhabit.
