While today is Father’s Day, we will be honoring fathers a bit differently by asking what kind of world we want for fathers, mothers, sisters, and brothers. The UU hymn “We’ll Build a Land” captures the longing we have to live in a more just world where we all, fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers create peace and justice. Ah, but even as we sing, our minds ask how? We can only begin to answer that question by reaching out and partnering with others in the work. I’ll share a few lessons learned about the process of creating more justice in SC from the perspective of our SC UU Justice Alliance.

Bridging Hearts: A Unitarian Odyssey Across Continents

This sermon will explore the profound connection between Transylvanian Unitarians and American Unitarian Universalists, highlighting how, despite geographical distances and diverse cultural backgrounds, they share a common foundation of faith, values, and purpose. Through personal stories, historical contexts, and contemporary examples, we will reflect on how this partnership enriches both communities, fostering mutual support and understanding. Join us as we celebrate the beauty of unity in diversity and the strength found in shared beliefs, reminding us that together, we can illuminate the path toward a more compassionate and inclusive world.

“Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion: The Wisdom of Jonathan Haidt”

Dr. Michael Sullivan will be presenting a creative understanding of why good people are divided by politics and religion. It is based on the work of social psychologist Jonathan Haidt.  Dr. Haidt concludes that “morality binds and blinds”. Using the six foundations of morality derived from his research, we can gain a better understanding of “the righteous mind” that everyone has. This can help bridge political and religious divides and promote greater respect for opposing views.
