SUMMARY:Humanist Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The Humanist Group will resume meeting on the third Sunday of the month as usual. We will meet in the worship room on October 20\, 15 minutes after the end of the morning service. Initially\, we will settle on a topic (topics?) for the coming church year. Study a book? Consider humanist morality in an AI world? Study one topic for the year or a different subject every month? Multiple possibilities. A lively discussion may lead to a workable consensus. \nAll are welcome to join in and have their say. The discussions never end\, but we wind these down by 1 pm.

SUMMARY:Service: Forgive (But Not Yet?)
DESCRIPTION:Hosea Ballou\, who inspired the first Universalists in Nova Scotia\, believed in a complete and loving forgiveness for all wrongdoing – but only after just retribution. His cousin Adin Ballou\, who inspired Leo Tolstoy (and then Gandhi) believed instead in an immediate forgiveness. What do you yourself need\, in order to feel a satisfactory reconciliation?
