David will illustrate the talk with his photographs from recent local flights.

An educator for twenty years, David worked first as high school English teacher and then as a university professor, having instructed at Ashland University, Ohio State University, and Cornell University.

Rev. Joan Van Becelaere -- New Year, Old Principles

Speaker — Rev. Joan Van Becelaere
Leader — Jen Gibson
Title — New Year, Old Principles
Topic — As UUs we have no creed or test faith. We do, however, “Covenant to Affirm and Promote” a statement of core values, our Principles, which are found on Page X of the gray hymnal. In one form or another, our statement of principles has been part of our faith tradition since 1887. But our affirmation and promotion of these old principles may prove more difficult in the new year ahead. We face serious issues that may challenge our commitment to truth, the democratic process, justice, equity, the worth and dignity of every person and respect for the interdependent web. How shall we authentically live into our principles in the face of these rising challenges?
