This multi-day holiday is a time for gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. As part of Rev Robinson’s service of remembering, members will bring a picture of someone they will be remembering during the service. A couple of tables will be set up in the sanctuary to display the pictures to be included as part of our celebration of those who have died.
“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.
