“There are people who make
things happen,
people who watch things happen,
and people who don’t know anything happened.”
June 6 - FIVE TYPES OF
DECISION MAKING. Come learn about
psychologist/philosopher William James’ suggested tools for making life’s major
decisions. Our own in-house philosopher
Dick Radl will present this program and moderate.
June 13 - OF WHAT ARE WE
CAPABLE. Reflections on human behavior
can be melancholy these days. If the
events of the 20th century, and now of the early 21st.,
show so much of the dark side of human capability, a crucial question
arises: what is required for the angels
of our better nature to prevail?
Minister Emeritus Ernie Pipes will speak to us today. Bob Johnson will moderate.

SHARE. Come to listen, to read, to
share your favorite poems. Beth Perkins
