Services for November 1995

November 5th - Homo Economicus

This term comes from the theoretical understanding of human behavior derived from economics. Homo Economicus' behavior in the marketplace is controlled by perfect reason and exclusive self interest. Are people really like this? What are the results of such a theory on human relationships? On society? On religion?

November 12th - Practice Living

Many of us hear the advice that we should stop and smell the roses and live for today. We laud the ordinary as the home of the holy. But how easy is it to really live this way? Is it really possible? Rev. Sam will outline an approach which will be the subject of a series of classes Sunday morning at 9:00am called "Build Your Own Spiritual Practice."

November 19th - Celebrating Gratitude

Please and thank you. We assume them until we have to teach our 3 year old to use them as Rev. Sam and Philomena have been doing with Andy. Simple acts of common kindness make a big difference to our quality of life. This exploration of gratitude will be a fine preparation for our Thanksgiving feast here at the Fellowship on Thursday.

November 26th - Fundamental Errors of the Christian Right

The Christian Coalition is just wrong about how to fix the ills of America. They have their eye on some of the right problems but the answer is not to become Christian or even religious. America was not designed to be a theocracy. Unitarian Universalism has within it the solutions to today's problems.
