Adult Lyceum

SUNDAY MORNING ADULT LYCEUM
 
 Lyceum (pronounced lye-SEE-um) is the Latin version of the Greek word Lykeion, the name of an ancient Greek gymnasium located in the city of Athens. This gymnasium was not just a place for athletic training and competitions.  It was also a place where Athenians could go to socialize and exercise their minds as well as their bodies.  The term has evolved over the centuries to mean a school, and, in Cassadaga, Lyceum is the name for our adult Sunday school.

​ Held on Sunday mornings in the Andrew Jackson Davis Building from 9:30-10:15 am, Lyceum is definitely not the Sunday school you may remember from your childhood years!  Not only do we have coffee, tea, and snacks, we also have lively and often humorous debates as we discuss Spiritualism as a religion, a philosophy, and a science.  Each week a different teacher presents an interactive class on a topic interesting to us as Spiritualists and as spiritual seekers.  Best of all, as we come to know ourselves better we also get to know other members of the church and the Cassadaga community. This is a warm, welcoming, and fun experience and the perfect preparation for the Sunday service which follows at 10:30 am in the Colby Memorial Temple.
