| Rev. Barbara Davenport | “Embracing Fallibility: What’s Right About Being Wrong?” Our admission of being wrong, rather than a sign of weakness is actually a sign of strength. When we acknowledge our mistakes, we remove ourselves from the impossible pedestal of perfection and admit that we are indeed part of the human race. We’ll explore notions, feelings and experiences of being wrong, based on American journalist Kathryn Schulz’s informative and entertaining book, “Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error.” | | bcdaven@earthlink.net $200

"Less than Human": How does our first UU Principle, affirming and promoting the inherent worth and dignity of every person, conflict with our deep-rooted temptation to dehumanize and objectify our enemies? Philosopher David Livingstone Smith has analyzed the history of dehumanization, its terrible consequences, and our responsibility as moral beings to stand over and against this destructive tendency.
