The psychic fair held at the Reno Convention Center on Saturday October 13 and Sunday October 14 provided a venue to use for outreach. The Right Reverend Sean Savoy presented a free workshop each of those days from 2:00 to 3:00 PM called “The Sun is the Central Heart.” Here are some of the questions and comments proposed in the invitation and the advertisement:

How can we work with the light/energy of the Sun? How do we put ourselves in tune with higher intelligence and with our own spiritual self? We can activate our inner light and participate in cosmic Consciousness by working with solar techniques that allow us to transcend the physical dimension. Can you see your golden, fully charged light body? Can you experience its Consciousness? Learn how to start the process of activating your solar body and expanding yourself—the mind as well as the heart—for union with the cosmos.

The Sun is the beating, living center of our solar system, and the connecting point between our personal spiritual natures and cosmic spiritual energy, also known as God-Consciousness. It is the Sun, the Christ Force, that mediates between humankind and God.

In the September 2012 issue of Reno Tahoe Tonight (RTT) magazine, Sean Savoy uses his monthly editorial column to mildly take to task the author of a pro-atheist opinion piece that appeared as the feature article in the popular free weekly magazine Reno News & Review (RN&R).

That critical and judgmental piece, titled “Are You There, God? It’s Me, Jake,” by longtime University of Nevada-Reno professor of journalism Jake Highton, addresses the pretenses and hypocrisy of modern-day religion and at the same time wags a finger at the moral foibles of famous professed believers whose behaviors, he believes, prove to him their moral hypocrisy. Professor Highton’s article begins with the childhood trauma that convinced him that God did not exist, then hops from eighteenth-century deistic points to ancient and modern atheistic points to contemporary scientific points, and ends with the arguments that all religion and all concepts of God defy reason, that modern empirical science alone is reasonable, and that the most morally decent nations are the most secular.

Bishop Savoy, in his article, recognizes the correctness of Professor Highton’s stance when the professor makes solid arguments and promotes an intelligent and more reasonable spiritual perspective when the professor does not.

In August the office of Nevada Congresswoman Shelley Berkley requested a meeting with Bishop Gene Savoy Jr. to discuss interfaith matters during the time Berkley was in Reno on her campaign trail. Bishop Savoy is president of the Nevada Clergy Association, an ecumenical organization designed to unite regional religious leaders for religious purposes. Berkley, a thirteen-year member of the US House of Representatives representing most of Las Vegas, is seeking election to the US Senate this November. The two met at the Chancellery of the International Community of Christ in Reno on the morning of Friday September 7, 2012.
