This Sunday starts our pledge drive, as we engage the members and friends around their commitment of support. As we plan the programs and activities of the UUCC, we know that we are making a difference in individual lives, in our culture, and in our world around us. March is the time to consider how you want to invest in that good work.
“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.
