What's the Urgency?
For those who hold liberal religious values, personal liberty is at the heart of religious freedom. Sometimes, however, personal freedom must give way to the interest of protecting and serving the common good. On Sunday, September 14, 2025, two dozen years after the 9/11 terror attacks in New York City, Rev. Terry Cummings will reflect on the balance between ensuring public safety and ensuring personal freedom. She will consider the question whether having military troops patrolling our streets too high a price to pay.

Can Mindfulness Help You Know Yourself Better When Someone You Trust Says You Don’t Have the Mental State You Think You Have?
On August 24, 2025 James Kraft, PhD, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Religion at Huston Tillotson University will help us explore the topic: "How we can know better through mindfulness our own mental states and those of others when disagreeing with them?” What a fascinating topic!
Rev. Fred Wooden returns to speak with us.
In these difficult times, many of us have grim thoughts about the future. Great poets have had similar fears and have said so eloquently. Yet they survived their bad times, and we can hope to survive ours.
