On July 28th, the Blue Hills Unitarian-Universalists bring Professor Emeritus Pat Shifferd to the fellowship to lead a forum on “Animal Intelligence and Emotions” for the 10:30 a.m. service. Shifferd finds this rich and complicated topic is anchored in “a wonderful body of research scientists have amassed, both in the field and in controlled conditions.”
Shifferd also notes the topical link to the UU Seventh Principle, “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part”, enhances opportunity for an engaging and thoughtful discussion period.
After the service, all are invited to gather for light refreshments in the fellowship hall.
