1 event, Fish Stark, Executive Director, American Humanist Association, and Rev. Jeremiah Kalendae, preaching; Rebecca Haggerty and James Witker, Worship Associates. This month's theme is Paying Attention — and Humanism is, at its core, a practice of presence. A choice to focus on the world we can see, the neighbors we can reach, the suffering we can actually reduce. Fish Stark, Executive Director of the American Humanist Association and a lifelong Unitarian Universalist, celebrates the shared roots of Humanism and Unitarian Universalism and invites us to rediscover the radical joy of choosing people over abstractions and outcomes over ideals.
