Ch Dennis Peters will lead Blue Hills Unitarian Universalists in a study of “Humanism,” Sunday, October 22nd. In his homily, “The Action Side of UU”, Peters suggests we “… take a look at where Humanism fits into our world; having been around for 100 years or more, there are questions that we might ask ourselves.”
Wikipedia states “the term generally denotes a focus on human well-being and advocates for human freedom, autonomy, and progress …” viewing humanity as responsible for: the promotion and development of individuals, espousing the equal and inherent dignity of all human beings, and emphasizing a concern for humans in relation to the world, with a “reliance on science and reason rather than revelation from a supernatural source to understand the world.” Humanists tend to advocate for human rights, free speech, progressive policies, and democracy.
Blue Hills UU invites everyone to be with us for our services, beginning at 10 a.m. Sunday mornings in the fellowship hall at 230 W. Messenger St., Rice Lake, and on Zoom. THIRD SUNDAY each month is also a time for gathering after service to share in Potluck; bring a dish to pass and enjoy camaraderie and nourishment with members and neighbors. The zoom link is sent to members, and anyone interested may request it by contacting patriciashifferd@gmail.com. https://bluehillsuu.org
