MAY 2002 NEWSLETTER
“Men may believe what they cannot prove. They may not be put to the proof of their religious doctrines or
beliefs. Religious experiences which
are as real as life to some may be incomprehensible to others.” by William O. Douglas, Supreme Court
Decision
May 12. REMEMBERING MOTHERS. (Mothers Day) Share your mother through
stories and memories. Have you in any
way “become” your mother? Beth Perkins
will moderate.
May 19. THE UNIVERSITY OF PEACE. Visit the only University of Peace in the
world. It is sanctioned by the United
Nations and is in San Jose, Costa Rica.
Ted Doty will speak and
moderate this morning.
May 26. JAZZ, AND MORE. Guest Bob Brodsky plays early jazz, New Orleans’ style. This lovable favorite and true moldy fig
will present a program of audio music, slides, and view-graph. Miles Thompson brings us this program. Penny will moderate.
June 2. CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD. This is what author Neale Donald Walsch
claims to have had over the past decade, and he has chronicled his experiences
in a series of best-sellers. Perhaps it
is nothing more than a figment of Walsch's imagination, but at least he has
created a character that even Unitarians might find appealing. Come discover what this God is like. Carol
Simpson will speak and moderate.
June 9. POETRY ENCORE! Jackie Berg will continue with her program on poetry. Please bring one (or more) of your favorites
or just come to enjoy the other poems shared.
Jackie will moderate.
June 16. ANNUAL LUNCHEON. Once a year the fellowship steps out for a special dinner or
lunch. This year we are meeting for
lunch (in a private room) at the Szechwan
Restaurant in Manhattan Beach. Time:
1:45 p.m. The address is 924
N. Sepulveda Blvd., Manhattan Beach (near 10th Street). Call Beth Perkins for more information. Food choices will be determined ahead of
time. At this gathering we will be
electing the Board of Directors for the new fiscal year July 2002 through June
