November 2011 Newsletter
"Its not enough to just change the players. We have to change the game.”
Barack Obama, January 4, 2007
SUNDAY
PROGRAMS
November 6 - “WHO AM I – MYTH OF MYSELF” by
the late Alan Watts. He was an
interpreter to the West of Eastern religions (and non-religions) and a
self described philosophical entertainer. Lloyd Drum presents this
program of Alan Watts speaking on audio tape. He will lead the discussion.
You may come to realize the truth of the statement “You are what the universe
is doing at the location you call ‘I’.” John Simpson will moderate.
November 13 – TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION: "There
is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been.
The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its
way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that
democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
from Isaac Asimov. What do you think? Come and talk about it.
Bob Johnson will moderate.
November 20 – A CELEBRATION OF AMERICA'S DIVERSITY
OF RELIGIOUS BELIEF by UU Rev. Marguerite Lovett. Let’s
celebrate the concept of religious “fairness” this thanksgiving. Article VI
of the Constitution states “no religious Test shall ever be required as
Qualification to any office or public Trust under the United States.”
And the First Amendment states: “Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. It
has not been easy being fair; some find it nearly impossible to be respectful.
It is our heritage and demands vigilance to keep it alive and healthy.
Rev. Marguerite Lovett was minister of
Long Beach Unitarian Church for more than 18 years and is making a
return visit to the fellowship. She is an excellent
speaker with a wonderful Boston accent. Penny Hendricks will moderate.
