    J.P. DeMerrit, guest speaker: "The Human Roots of Evil" — UUs and Jews have more in common than we imagine: put two Jews together in a room, and you'll have atleast three opinions on any given subject. Just as UUs have differing opinions on what evil is and whence it comes,so do Jews. Join J. P. DeMeritt in exploring the range of thought on the subject of evil and what we UUs can learnfrom diverse Jewish opinions on the roots of evil.

    Susan Pantle, PhD, guest speaker: "Quantum Quackery or Serious Science: Can Mental Effort Affect the Body/Brain?"We'll explore the question: Can conscious mental effort affect the body and brain to bringabout healing? Among issues explored will be "quantum flapdoodle" and "the explanatory gap."

    Ingrid Martine, guest speaker: "The Shadow Side of Innocence" — When is innocence not sweet and cute? Is there a relationship between innocence and the absence of joy and spontaneity, and choice? If so, what can we learn that would move us out of the shadow of innocence and into the light of choice, sweet choice?

    Rev. Nathan L. Stone, minister: "Letting Go: Easy for You to Say" — Letting go certainly implies a lot of hanging on. Is there something wrong with hanging on and why let go? Some even say, "Let go and let God." Now what in the world does that mean—especially to a skeptical, cynical, agnostic—even atheist Unitarian Universalist?

    Rev. Nathan L. Stone, minister:  "On Saving Souls: UU View" — Now don't freak out about the title. Salvation and souls tend to give UUs heartburn. Hopefully this sermon will serve as a Pepcid for your spiritual innards. And don't freak out over "spiritual." It is one of our UUWaco core values, after all.

Our theme for August: Letting Go

 

The chosen theme for August created by our Worship Team is "Letting Go." However, for reasons soon to be explained the minister is "letting go" of that theme. Instead the theme becomes either WHATEVER or POTPOURRI —whichever sounds better. The month of August is somewhat frenzied for the minister what with a big SWUUSI assignment, a professional workshop, and a week of vacation. Therefore I have asked some of you to preach sermons in my absence.

Special thanks to J.P. DeMeritt, Susan Pantle, and Ingrid Martine. They will practice Freedom of the Pulpit on August 1, 8, and 15. Rev. Stone will return to pulpit responsibilities on August 22.
