Program

Join us for a replaying of a 2012 TED Talk from Jonathan Haidt, titled "Religion, evolution, and the ecstasy of self-transcendence."

Psychologist Jonathan Haidt asks a simple, but difficult question: why do we search for self-transcendence? Why do we attempt to lose ourselves? In a tour through the science of evolution by group selection, he proposes a provocative answer.

As a fellowship of Unitarian Universalists, we bring the diversity of our religious backgrounds and of our current faiths to the larger group. We often take pride in how open we are to those with differing thoughts and beliefs. But just how open minded are we, really? Several times already this year, many of us have felt a bit "prickly" when our guest speakers talk about their connection to God, their belief in Angels or other signs that they put faith in anything other than tangible matter. Why does this happen? What does it do for us to react this way?

We invite you (and those you know) to join us this Sunday for another discussion.

Our topic to consider and discuss this week will be centered around a recent article from the New York Times, by columnist David Brooks, titled "Building Better Secularists." The article may be read via the following link:
