Blue Hills Unitarian Universalists will focus study on the “Second Principle” of their faith: “Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations” during the Sunday service of September 22. The importance of these values in our lives and communities are regarded as bedrock to a functioning society.
We’ll look to the renowned defense lawyer, Clarence Darrow, to guide our discussion by examining one of his historic cases. Dubbed “the absolute king of trial lawyers”, Clarence Darrow was a powerful and skilled attorney whose work highlighted and enacted much needed legal and social reform. He began as a specialist of labor law, transforming from a corporate lawyer into a civil rights activist who backed the working class and other marginalized populations. We expect a lively discussion to follow the presentation.
All are invited to be with us on Sundays; services begin at 10 a.m. in the fellowship hall at 230 W. Messenger St., Rice Lake and on Zoom. Everyone is welcome to our congregation; the zoom link is sent to members, and all interested may request it by contacting patriciashifferd@gmail.com. https://bluehillsuu.org
