Is God Great? There are three ways people perceive God:
1) as an illusion
2) as a metaphor
3) as reality
The clash of the world’s religions is a greater threat to society than ever, and this discussion will present a
positive way to deal with this challenge. It will include a discussion of the determining role that the Jesus
symbol plays in the Western civilization.
Rev. Joseph Ben-David who wrote a not yet published path breaking essay on this important subject will be the speaker and moderator of the meeting. He is a life-long humanist Unitarian and human rights activist.
Please join us. All are welcome.

On Sunday, November 16 after services, we want to gather everyone who cares about RE to meet about the DRE position. We hope and expect to hire a new Director of Religious Education for next year, the position that Aisha Hauser last filled. The search committee for the DRE has the lead responsibility of writing and posting a job description, reading application materials, nterviewing candidates, facilitating their visits, and making a recommendation to the board. The committee needs ideally five members, and definitely at least three. This meeting will take place in the RE Office above the north side of the Sanctuary.
The Humanist Discussion on Friday, November 21 at 7:00 pm will be: The Evolution or Devolution of Humanity? We have reason to celebrate great human progress since the dark ages. Marvelous advancements have been made in the evolution of science, life extension, and intellectual and social awareness. But technology and education can be abused to bring about a state of global totalitarianism. Nuclear war poses an increasingly imminent and catastrophic threat to humanity and to life on earth. Can the devolution be stopped? The speaker and moderator, Joseph Ben-David, Humanist Counselor, will introduce the topic and lead the discussion.
To be held at Fourth U on Friday, November 21, at 7:00 PM. Sponsored by the Church of Humanism. Information: 212.877.5662. Web: www.humanistfoundation.org . On Youtube, search for “Ben-David humanist”.
These workshops, led by Jennifer Pader, will be held on November 2, 9, 16, 23 and December 7 and 14 at 1:00 PM.
