Rev. Dr. Pippin WhitakerLast week marked the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous means “of the earth,” and anyone might claim to be of the earth. Yet, what would that mean? Consider where you are. What is the story, the ancient history of the land? How have you cared for the land, nurtured its ecosystems, told stories about it, defended it? Are you more of the earth, or more on the earth? Join this service as we open our hearts and minds to what it means to be of the Earth, to listen to indigenous peoples, and to become of the Earth.

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.
