The topic for July is Capitalism Revisited. For this meeting we will have two presenters, Judith Heartwell and Harold Hellickson. Both will present their knowledge/findings/viewpoints for the group to consider.
We will send e-mail background information and a couple of videos to view. (Neither are necessary to join the meeting but are well worth checking out.) The majority of us have lived with a capitalist system our whole lives, so we can all speak on Capitalism. What are your thoughts about Capitalism? How does Capitalism affect your life and/or the lives of others? How does it impede social justice. Join us for a lively discussion. Please e-mail Mays Swicord to register for the meeting and he will add you to the ZOOM list. If you are not a member or friend of UUFH, please contact the office HERE to sign up to participate.
“Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism or other supernatural beliefs, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good.”
The meaning of the term humanism has varied throughout the ages, but today, with the impact of science and the interconnectedness of our world, has taken on a greater association with human freedom and progress. Our meetings cover a variety of subjects of interest to our participants, viewed from a humanist perspective.
All are welcome. Please contact Mays Swicord or Rich DeSimone. If you are not a member or friend of UUFH, please contact our office to get in touch with this group.
An Affirmation from the Humanist Manifesto III:
Knowledge of the world is derived by observation, experimentation, and rational analysis. Humanists find that science is the best method for determining this knowledge as well as for solving problems and developing beneficial technologies. Humanists recognize the value of new departures in thought, the arts, and inner experience—each subject to analysis by critical intelligence.
