Humanism Today:
Issues and Origins
The heritage of humanism is a central
strand in Unitarian Universalism. We
will explore the history of this idea in
classical philosophy, western intellectual
development, and American religious
development. We will also examine
the variety of institutional forms
of contemporary humanism, the issues
it confronts, and the unique spiritual
resources that it offers in the context
of our UU movement.
Taught by the Rev. Drs. Kendyl Gibbons
and Bill Murray, two of the
most noted humanist scholars in our
UU movement. This class begins June
15 and runs for eight weeks.
Rituals for Building a UU Home
Join us for a journey into creating
richer, deeper rituals for your family.
Discover what UU values you most
want to reinforce in your home, and
begin to re-shape your days. Take on
the challenge Bill Sinkford posed for
us: create and use a language of reverence—together. Add joy, worship,
connection and a touch of humor while
getting the dishes and laundry done!
This course is designed for families
with children or teens living at home,
but others may find it useful.
Mandy Neff, the course teacher, has
been a Director of Religious Education
since 2000. The class begins July 13
and runs for four weeks.
In the Arms of the Beloved: The
Poetry of Rumi
Rumi was a 13th century Sufi teacher
and poet who wrote wonderfully
evocative and vibrant poems to his
Beloved that are rich with meaning,
image, and wisdom. We will create a
spiritual practice using Rumi’s words
as a basis for weekly reflection,
prayer, and writing. With this practice,
we can discover abundant wisdom for
our lives and our spiritual journeys.
Taught by Unitarian Universalist minister
the Rev. Robert Moore, this
class begins August 1 and runs for six
weeks.
