In-Person Services, Columbia, SC Sundays 11AM

Dreamers Welcome

Lulu Torres is a dreamer. She came to the US at age 4 and has experienced first hand the challenges and frustrations of having a “in limbo” immigration status. She has contributed to her community and to society as much as any US citizen, yes she does not have the same rights and benefits as her colleagues that graduated with her from high school. She has hopes of one day starting nursing school and become a registered nurse. She is optimistic that with the help of congress, she may be granted a permanent solution allowing her to earn her citizenship and achieve her goals. This country is everything she has ever known, it is her home and she is the future.
She will share her message with our congregation during our service.

“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.

Abundance? The Earth Is Asking.

Politicos on the Left and Right have used the buzz words abundance and scarcity for decades to justify their government policies and practices. But too few have ever paid enough attention to Earth’s all-encompassing ecology—and our UU Seventh Principle, “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.”
