The Wisdom of the World’s Religions — Susan Caldwell (Facilitator):
This week, “The Baha’i Faith: A Commitment to Diversity”
Numbering right around seven million members around the world, the Baha’i faith is not the largest in numbers, and yet it is the second most geographically widespread religion. Only Christianity has spread further, and it is 300 times larger. How has this faith found a home with so many different people in so many places? Join us to learn more.
Note about The New UU Class:
Bennett Upton is hoping to start another “New UU” class very soon, but is taking a short break for the sake of building the numbers. Whether you are brand new to Unitarian Universalism, or not so new but wanting a refresher or to fill in some gaps, this is a great class for you. It covers the history and theology of our faith tradition and congregation, and lets you explore how all of that fits with your theology and personal perspective.
If you are interested in being part of the class when it starts again, email Bennett or call or text him at 318-553-7321.
