| Is the World Really Flat Join Program Minister Bill Welch in an amusing and nostalgic sermon about how the world might really be flat. "Technology has indeed brought us closer together on a personal and commercial level.... Technology has given us the ability to reach beyond time zones and borders. There are many people around the world who are motivated by fairness and reason, that picture a sustainable planet and a sustainable quality of life. âAdvocates of compassionate flatism need to educate consumers to the fact that their buying decisions and buying power are political. Every time you as a consumer make a decision, you are supporting whole set of values. You are voting about barriers and friction you want to preserve or eliminate." |

| Godtalk: UU Children and Theist Language Our childhoods are chapters of naming, a time when words are magically attaching themselves to our reality and becomng the currency of our transactions with other people. What do our children mean, whether they come from theist or humanist families, when they use the word God? How do we respond to the Godtalk they are absorbing simply by existing in a predominantly Judeo-Christian religious culture? What choices are we making, as teachers, parents, and fellow seekers, about the theological language we use with our young people, and to what end? |

| Wanna Live Forever? Humanity is obsessed with living forever. This desire is expressed in various forms, ranging from spiritual teachings to the Fountain of Youth. Science has set its sights on this Holy Grail and one day we may be able to literally live forever in a carnal body. Whether in the spirit or flesh, what is at the root of this desire? Is it the ultimate narcissism or our true destiny? What does it mean to live eternally? |
