Adult Religious Education — 15 November 2015

CornelWestPlease join us on Sunday at 9:15 AM for a screening of Dr. Cornel West giving his 2015 Ware Lecture at the Unitarian Universalist General Assembly.

This past summer in Portland OR, over 3000 Unitarian Universalists had the honor and privilege to hear author, theologian and civil rights activist Dr. Cornel West.

Grounding his talk in questions asked by the late W.E..B. Dubois to the younger generation and in his own deep faith, Dr. West shakes the rafters as he calls us to action on many of the human rights issues of the present day.

Kathy Osuch will facilitate discussion of the video.
