Our dialog series provides a forum for intellectual pursuit and rational thought as integral to our spiritual journeys at UUCMC. Dialogs are planned on the first and third Sundays of the month at 9 am from September to May.
We welcome suggestions for speakers and topics. Please email uucmc@uucmc.org.
Upcoming Sunday Dialogs, 9:00am, Community Room
September 21st: Halting Democratic Backsliding
UUCMC Democracy Team
We will present recent findings and information from Indivisible, Horizons Project, the One Million Rising training, and more. The Dialog will include recommendations for effective actions that people can take to stop authoritarianism and its ‘pillars of support.’
October 5th: Frontier Feminists
Jeff Heller
I’ll focus on one woman from the 1700s who’s very interesting but largely unknown. Molly Brant, an Iroquois whose life of adventure during the Revolutionary War inspired three women (including Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott) to write the documents that launched the struggle for women’s rights in America.
Jeff Heller writes historical fiction for young adults, in addition to screenplays, novels for adults, and short plays.
October 19th: Primo Levi
Tim Geiselman
Primo Levi was an Italian/Jewish chemist, writer, and Holocaust survivor. Gifted with a writer’s keen eye to detail and memory, his story is illuminating. His most famous book, “If this is a Man”, chronicles 11 months as a prisoner in Auschwitz along with the questions he raises and answers he proposes. We will spend the dialog discussing his journey and the Holocaust in general.
