The message for the first week of the Advent season is hope. A long time ago in a UU church far, far away this message of hope was connected to a well known movie franchise.

“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.
