Dr. Paul Robinson — Let 2026 Be Your Year of Peacemaking

Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.

Leader — Reed Richmond

Speaker — Dr. Paul Robinson

Title — Let 2026 Be Your Year of Peacemaking

Topic — A spirit of peace flows from a heart (mind) centered on pure, unconditional love. Such a mind transcends the “noise” of our lives where we are assaulted daily with words and events that trigger inner turmoil or distress. Such a mind harbors no resentments, no anger, no malice or un-pure thoughts toward anybody.
Such a spirit is nurtured by the taming of our emotions and the integration and eventual synthesis of the competing subpersonalities we all experience as ourselves, the “me” or “I” we identify with. The spirit of peace emerges when the locus of control of our behaviors is internal, when our different subpersonalities quit competing with each other and when our behaviors are grounded in love.

Bio — Dr. Paul Robinson is a retired psychologist and NCSC professor where he taught for 24 years. He also was on the faculty at Oberlin College before moving back to the Mansfield area some 45 years ago. He was an avid bicyclist, skier, swimmer, and hiker in his younger days. Now he works a small garden and tends to his property on Possum Run Road along with his wife of 64 years while still enjoying being with Mother Nature.
