The Many Rivers that Feed the Flame

As we join others across the world in a celebration of Interfaith harmony week, we will focus on the image of our chalice, the symbol of Unitarian Universalism. We have become a home for so many spiritual paths, as we honor each individual’s quest for truth and meaning. The flame of our chalice is fueled by our openness and welcome, creating a space for all. We celebrate the human experience that we share, which gives rise to the metaphors that provide meaning for our lives.

“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.
