SUNDAY PROGRAMS
October 5 – THE SOUL OF THE NEW CHINA Bill Moyers presents a look inside China –nothing is as it seems. This video is current, presented the week following the Olympics. It is full of scenes and information that you did not see as you watched the Olympics. Included is an interview with Philip P. Pan (Washington Post Foreign Service), author of “Out of Mao’s Shadow—the Struggle for the Soul of a New China”. Penny Hendricks will moderate.
October 12 – THE AVAILABLE CONTINENT We are meeting on Columbus Day - a little noticed holiday. When this continent became available to Europeans, a momentous wave of events unfolded that still beg for interpretation. Reverend Emeritus Ernie Pipes will present his ideas and lead us in a discussion. Ernie Pipes was minister at the Santa Monica Unitarian Church before he retired. Beth Perkins will moderate.
October 19 – BALLOT MEASURES AND RELATED STUFF John Simpson will lead the discussion of the ballot measures. If you have any information provided by a particular organization or point of view, please bring the information to share with us. John Simpson will moderate.
