    SUNDAY  PROGRAMS

     

    December 2 - ONE MARKET, UNDER GOD.  Carol and John Simpson continue a discussion of the theories in this book by Thomas Frank.  Throughout the 90's, the notion that big government was bad, deregulation was good, and free markets equaled a free society gained a stronghold in our nation's thinking.  But have the events of 9/11 altered the course of what had become almost a religious mantra?  The Simpsons will moderate.

     

    December 9 - THE HEALING POWER OF LAUGHTER.  Marilyn Doty presents the program.  Ted Doty moderates this morning.

     

    December 16 - TAI CHI CHUAN.  This will be a history and demonstration of simple Tai Chi Chuan, a movement meditation.  Beth Perkins presents and moderates.

     

    December 23 - HOW WE CELEBRATE.  Come together to share some of your holiday memories; sing carols and other holiday songs; light a candle.  Penny will moderate.

     

    December 30 - TWO MUSICAL MASTERPIECES.  There is one God and J. S. Bach is his prophet. (Plus a minor prophet.)  Rich Johnson presents and moderates the program.

     

    January 6 - PRAYER:  PRAISE, THANKSGIVING, PETITION, OR MEDITATION?  We will discuss the meaning of several categories of prayer in a world view which does not depict God as the traditional  "Man Upstairs." We compare the attitude of asking for divine favor with one of engaging in a spiritual discipline. Bill Nunan will present this topic and moderate.

     

    January 13 - THE MAYANS.  Peter Landecker presents this program from  his recent travels.
