Unity of Bellevue has appointed Rabbi Ted Falcon, Ph.D., as its Scholar-in-Residence for 2010.

Falcon will present a lecture, “If I Could Teach Anything I Wanted…”, at 7 p.m. Monday, March 8 at Unity of Bellevue.

The lecture is open to the public and admission is by voluntary contribution. A brief reception will follow the presentation.

“We are honored that Rabbi Ted has accepted this position within our spiritual community,” said John M. McLean, Senior Minister of Unity of Bellevue. “Through the Scholar-in-Residence program, we seek to discover new ways of sharing our commonly-held spiritual views. This affiliation gives us the opportunity to explore the possibilities.”

In addition to this event, Falcon will be guest speaker at two of Unity of Bellevue’s Sunday morning celebrations and will also offer a three-week class on Exploring The World of Meditation in the autumn of 2010. Times and dates for those events, open to the community at-large, will be announced later.

“I appreciate this opportunity to deepen my relationship with the church at which I began my own congregation over 16 years ago,” Falcon said.

Falcon is a teacher and student of Jewish meditation and Kabbalah for over 30 years.

Unity of Bellevue is a member of the Association of Unity Churches. It is located in the Crossroads neighborhood of Bellevue at 16330 NE Fourth St.
