February 2013 Newsletter
“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” Martin Luther King Jr.
SUNDAY
PROGRAMS
February 3 - IN
THE NEWS Carol Simpson will lead the program which allows us to
bring up for discussion whatever concerns us and we can resolve the problems!
Carol will moderate.
February 10 -
FEBRUARY—A TIME FOR FLOWERS, POETRY AND CHOCOLATE
Bring something to share. You could bring a story, or poem,
flowers or a song. Share a memory of a special time or special someone, or
a special place.
February 17 -
THE END OF FAITH Lloyd Drum from the Unitarian Church in
Santa Monica will play Chapter Seven of the Audio Book The End of Faith by Sam
Harris (also author of Letter to a Christian Nation and The Moral Landscape).
In this chapter Sam Harris offers an alternative to traditional religions that
require faith in that which can’t be demonstrated. Lloyd will moderate
the discussion.
February 24 – SATYAGRAHA: THE VOICE OF TRUTH Looking at these two spiritual leaders. Gandhi’s “experiment with truth” was at the heart of King’s work for justice and equality. For King as well as Gandhi, the methods of satyagraha, far from being neutral tools devoid of cultural values, contained precise, challenging blueprints for leading a moral life.
