Forums for September
September 4--Who do you think you are? Freddie ponders the possible answers to the question, “Who do you think you are?” at this morning’s forum.
September 11--Do trees have rights? Should inanimate objects (like trees) have rights? We have gradually expanded our perceptions to include other marginalized classes, including women, minorities, gays, endangered species, etc.
September 18--Banning circumcision. The City of San Francisco is considering an ordinance to ban circumcision. Is this within the City’s rights? Does it infringe on religious liberties? How does it compare to banning female circumcision?
September 25--The Wisdom of the Wild. Dan Schatz says “There is wisdom in the wildness of the wolf, whose rhythms are completely attuned to the truth of the earth.” Is this true wisdom? He also says, “in the wild, nature out of balance is nature dying.” This is a profoundly conservative statement. Do you agree? (UU World, Spring 2011)
