As our congregation accepts the task of building and strengthening programs for children and youth, we ask, “what does this really mean?” Who are the children and families we hope to serve? To approach an answer to this big question, we must work together. The Children and Youth Religious Exploration Committee has asked for the help of the Worship Committee to craft a message that invites us all into dialogue. We will listen to what parents have to say as we explore the needs of our children.

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.
