Book Discussion: The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt - Next class: March 29th 

In this “landmark contribution to humanity’s understanding of itself” (The New York Times Book Review) social psychologist Jonathan Haidt challenges conventional thinking about morality, politics, and religion in a way that speaks to conservatives and liberals alike. 
      Drawing on his twenty five years of groundbreaking research on moral psychology, Haidt shows how moral judgments arise not from reason but from gut feelings. He shows why liberals, conservatives, and libertarians have such different intuitions about right and wrong. In this subtle yet accessible book, Haidt gives you the key to understanding the miracle of human cooperation, as well as the curse of our eternal divisions and conflicts. If you’re ready to trade in anger for understanding, read The Righteous Mind.  When: 6 Fridays from 7-8:30 pm (1/25, 2/8, 2/22, 3/15, 3/29, 4/12); Where:  LCUUC; Facilitator:  Greg Valde

Class: Century Philosophy: Phenomenology - Edmund Husserl - Next class: April 3rd

Classes meet EVERY OTHER WEDNESDAY: January 9th & 23rd (Cancelled), February 6th & 20th, March 6th & 20th, April 3 & 17, to explore what it means to know what you think you know. Thirty dollars ($30) is suggested as a donation to LCUUC. Previous completion of philosophy courses is not required. All are welcome.

May 4 - Spring Clean Up and Potluck: LCUUC Grounds

We are lucky to have such amazing outdoor areas. The commemorative garden invites us to meditate and enjoy the beauty of the perennial plants and water features. The children’s area is a place for little ones to play and dream. The vegetable garden provides a place to connect with the earth and with each other. The big trees and fire pit are great for events and relaxing together by the campfire. The gardens surrounding the building warmly welcome us to our church home. All of these areas need a little care every year. Please help us spruce things up for spring and then stay for a potluck and a campfire. 
   The event runs from 1:30pm 8pm. Potluck and campfire to follow. Bring gloves, a hat, sunscreen and garden tools if you have any. For questions, please contact Janis Tyler at janistyler1@gmail.com
