The core beliefs, values, and understanding of our principles and our spirituality brings the UUCC together as a congregation. The work of the leaders and the committees at the UUCC transform those beliefs and values into action. Volunteering your time, energy, and gifts to a UUCC committee is a great way to get connected to people, develop as a leader, and put your spirituality into practice. After the service on Sunday, we will have a virtual committee fair, where you can learn about the work of each committee and ask questions to those who have been doing the work. Please plan to join us for the worship service and the virtual committee fair that follows. See our latest eblast or News/Current Events above for details.
“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.
