“Skeptical Science”

“Religion is helpful in reminding us of the truth that science, for all its virtues, is one stage of the human journey.... Awe and reverence are not less central to human insight than microscopes and telescopes.”   ~Rabbi David Wolpe

What is the relation between science and religion?  Why has it become so common to find "science" as contested ground in our contemporary culture wars -- over masking, vaccinations, and what should be taught to children in our public schools?

Our sermon this week is titled "In Pursuit of Goodness". Our guest this week is Rev. Ann C. Fox, Minister Emerita, Unitarian Memorial Church, Fairhaven, MA

This Sunday, March 19th, we will welcome Rev Danielle DiBona as our guest minister. Her sermon will be " Throw Open the Doors". You are invited to join us and find out about our welcoming church.
