in the soul.” Democritus
SUNDAY
PROGRAMS
April
3 – LABOR
UNDER FIRE It started in Wisconsin and has spread to other
states with Republican governors: demonizing public employees and making efforts
to break public workers' unions. A look at what's behind the alarming trend and
why it threatens us all. John
Simpson will moderate
April
10 – EAST
AFRICAN SAFARI Les Berg brings a movie produced by award winning
filmmaker Rick Ray. This film
includes the Great Rift Valley and the coffee
plantations of Kenya. Also
included is the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in the Serengeti National Park of
Tanzania and the rain Forest of Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park where the
endangered mountain gorillas make their home.
Come along to the Safari. This
program will begin a little early to allow us to see as much as possible. We can enjoy refreshments while we watch.
April 17 – WAKE-UP CALL: RAISING OUR CONSCIOUSNESS This is a tape introduced by Tom Brokaw, and featuring journalist Bob Woodward and Michelle Obama. Whether you approved of the war or not, this will perhaps give you a new awareness of the thousands of people that have been affected and will continue to be affected every day. Penny Hendricks will moderate.
April 24 – OUR
SOCIALISTIC GOVERNMENT Quite a few people feel taxes should be
severely reduced, and they want to "get government out of the way."
This would mean that many of the services presently furnished by the government
would have to be eliminated. We’ll examine some of these services, and
estimate how much they would cost each of us, including conservatives and
Libertarians, who use them if privatized. Jerry Parker will present
this subject and lead our discussion. Bob Johnson will moderate.
