“Patriotism” is an intense word. It can evoke love and fellow-feeling; chauvinism and belligerence; loyalty and service. However they define it, most Americans consider themselves patriots, though plenty do not. For the 250th birthday of the United States, Rebecca Mattis wonders: How do our thoughts and feelings about our nation fit into our spiritual and emotional lives? What would we like to celebrate?
Because love is always in the air, what better way to celebrate Spring than with a service of love songs? With a nod to the C.S. Lewis classic, The Four Loves, Austin folksinger and UU speaker, Steve Brooks, uses music to explore the varieties and meanings of love. Some will be obscure and some familiar but be prepared to sing along.
Many of us are motivated by a desire to contribute to a more just and compassionate world. The Effective Altruism movement offers a framework for turning that motivation into more meaningful impact. It explores not just how to help, but how to help most effectively. This talk explores how we can use reason, empathy, and a global perspective to better align our values with our actions.
What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than with a service of love songs? With a nod to the C.S. Lewis classic The Four Loves, UU speaker and Austin folksinger Steve Brooks uses music to explore the varieties and meanings of love. Some will be familiar and some obscure, but come prepared to sing along.
"I was drawn to this fellowship by the tradition of open discussion, devotion to equality for all, and the concept of individual thought, expression, and search for meaning as detailed in our Values and Aspirations."
