Of course, you can, but we know that the UUCC creates a great experience of spiritual community. The past few years have taught us that we need connection and community in our lives, and the UUCC commits to welcoming all people, affirming all people, and engaging all people. On this Sunday, we celebrate the new member joining and signing, as we get to know and celebrate those who have decided to make the UUCC their spiritual home. Each new person makes the UUCC a greater place to be.
“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.
