SUNDAY PROGRAMS
July
8 - TRAINING FOR SELF-CONTROL, FREEDOM & HAPPINESS This presentation sketches the transformative practices that
seem to be required. Among them is
a "vocabulary of feelings." Come
and enjoy Reverend Ernie Pipes as he returns to provide nourishment for our
hearts and minds. Ernie Pipes
served as the longtime, well loved minister of the Santa Monica U.U. Church.
Bob Johnson will moderate.

15 - NEW MEDIA’S THREAT TO DEMOCRACY
Has
the emergence of the Internet, talk radio and other niche media undermined mass
communication, common experiences and thus our shared understanding of problems,
ultimately posing a threat to democracy? Former
journalist John M. Simpson thinks so. He
will briefly outline his theory and then moderate a discussion
July
22 - Alaska! Lenore
Snodey and Peter Landecker will relate their experiences exploring Alaska in
May, 2007. They traveled deep into
Denali Park to see wildlife (including grizzly bear families, mountain sheep,
elk, caribou, and eagles) Peter will share pictures and will talk about the
history and culture of Alaska. Peter
will moderate this morning.

Association, covenant to affirm and promote: Acceptance of
