Aug 31: Can You Really Experience Anything Objectively?
Can You Really Experience Anything Objectively? The blind man who feels a leg says the elephant is like a pillar; the one who feels the tail says the elephant is like a rope; the one who feels the trunk says the elephant is like a tree branch; the one who feels the ear says the elephant is like a hand fan; the one who feels the belly says the elephant is like a wall; and the one who feels the tusk says the elephant is like a solid pipe. They then compare notes and learn they are in complete disagreement about what the elephant looks like. When a sighted man walks by and sees the entire elephant all at once, they also learn they are blind. The sighted man explains to them: All of you are right. The reason every one of you is telling a different story is because each one of you touched a different part of the elephant. So actually, the elephant has all the features you mentioned. Facilitated by Glen Lakes.
Aug 31: A Toolbox of Faith
A Toolbox of Faith. Everybody needs a toolbox. In fact, we each probably have many toolboxes, some tangible: boxes of useful items for repairing or creating things, and some intangible: repositories of knowledge we turn to for solving problems or making decisions. Today we will kick off our fall RE (religious education) program, in which we will explore the tools Unitarian Universalists use to navigate our lives, centered on the concepts of love, respect, and compassion. We will welcome children and families into the program and introduce and dedicate the leaders who will guide our children through the program over the next nine months. Lay Leader Barb Gutsch will lead the service.
