Adult Forum - Questions of Value Time: 10:30am - 11:15am Location: Library May 28: "Questions of Value" June 4: "Facts and Values" Our lives are filled with everyday questions of fact and finance. Professor Patrick Grim says the really fundamental questions of our lives are questions neither of fact nor finance, but of value. This series is a video-lecture course for anyone who has ever felt the tug of such questions and wants to fine-tune the ability to see how deeper questions of ethics and values apply to the choices that make up our lives. The course is designed to open debate and facilitate reflective thought. Dr. Grim is professor of Philosophy at the University of New York, Stony Brook. Spiritual Conversations Time: 10:30am Location: Raible Chapel June 4: As Once the Winged Energy of Delight, by Rainer Maria Rilke Spiritual Conversations meets weekly except on the second Sunday of the month. Each session opens with a reading, often a poem, and continues with a period of silent reflection. Conversation begins slowly as we share our reflections on the reading and the spiritual experience it inspires. Everyone is welcome to join us for this time of poetry, meditation, and spiritual conversation. Copies of the week’s reading are provided. Children’s Choir’s Strategic Planning Time: 11:15am This is an invitation to all parents of children currently in a children’s choir or interested in the music program for children to attend a brief meeting on Sunday morning, June 4, at 11:15, in the Sanctuary balcony. The children’s choir program is in a rebuilding phase and this important meeting will help determine its future direction. Please plan to attend. Book-Discussion Group Time: 6:30pm Location: Library We’ll discuss Founding Mothers, by Cokie Roberts originally scheduled for our May meeting. The book is about the influence women had on the Founding Fathers: "it’s safe to say that most of the men who wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, fought the Revolution and formed the government couldn’t have done it without the women. And it was the women who, by insisting that the men come together for civilized conversations at dinner parties in the early republic, helped keep the fragile new country from falling into fatal partisan discord."
