Adult RE Sunday Classes and Readings
10 AM Room 205-206, unless otherwise noted
May 5: How and Why Christianity Became One of the World’s Dominant Religions in Just 300 Years.
Session led by retired Methodist minister, Earnie Wotring, Ph.D.
May 12: The Scientific Basis for Immortality Session led by David May, Ph. D.
Einstein predicted in 1905 that time and space are inter-related: speed affects time and the concept of “Now” is relative. These predictions have been confirmed many times since then. Yet, there is little general knowledge of them, nor have their philosophical and religious significances been widely explored. We will learn about the true nature of time, with the assistance of a portion of a PBS Nova program. And, we will examine the philosophical and religious implications of Einstein’s discoveries about the nature of time, the phenomenon of “Now,” and their consequences for immortality.
May 19: EXPLORATION SUNDAY Choose a subject from the following:
The Emerson Poetry Group will meet Third Sunday in Room 204 in Delaney Hall. All are welcome to share a poem or just to listen. Bring a poem you have written or one by another that you like.
Articulating Your UU Faith this nine-session course, which will continue on 3rd Sundays through May, is facilitated by Ken McLeod and members of Emerson's Committee on Ministry: How do you respond to people when you say, "I am a Unitarian Universalist" and they replay with, "What's that?" Seek your answers during our new 3rd Sunday offering, Room 205.
The “Pencil Factory” Exploration Sunday group had its last meeting in April and will not meet on Sunday, May 19th. Thanks to Idolina Hernandez and deForest Ralph for offering their insights and observations about our UU roots in Concord, Massachusetts.
