Bush and Cheney committed high crimes and misdemeanors against the citizens of
the United States? Should they be
impeached? Jerry Parker will

“We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist
Association, covenant to affirm and promote:
The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our
congregations and in society at large.” This
is the 5th of the Unitarian Universalist Association, Article II
Principles and Purposes. Rich
Johnson will lead the discussion of this 5th
principle. Richard will
moderate.
November
18 - THE INTENTIONAL LIFE:
BUDDHISM AND THE NEUROSCIENCE OF DREAMS
The results from using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (f-MRI) in
order to examine the dreaming brain, now appear to verify the wisdoms of ancient
sages. In B.C.E.
India, the Buddha taught how to live mindfully.
Since early childhood, Barbara Reinhart has been fascinated with
recalling and interpreting dreams. From
her reading and clinical experience, she will speak about the ways in which she
synthesizes the findings of brain research, psychological assumptions and the
emotional and spiritual meanings. Barbara
is a longtime Unitarian and a past member of SBUF.
She currently lives in Seal Beach. Penny Hendricks will moderate.
November
25 - A FULLY HUMAN THANKSGIVING - What is the relationship between this
most American of holidays and our own heritage as religious humanists.
John Morehouse is the minister at Pacific Unitarian Church in Palos
Verdes. Come and enjoy this dynamic
speaker. Peter Landecker will moderate this
morning.
December
2 - THE BUDDHIST WISDOM OF THE DALAI LAMA
Learning how to take control of your mind,
developing a consciousness that is highly trained, guiding your life
skillfully across the uncertainties of life - these are some of the
goals of the great wisdom traditions.
The Dalai Lama is a highly evolved example of Buddhist wisdom - and his
teachings form the background of this presentation.
Ernie Pipes, our minister friend, retired from the Santa Monica Unitarian
Church, will return to share with us.
