Being humble is virtuous but devilishly elusive, especially for some people. As Benjamin Franklin — known by contemporaries for his lack of humility — joked in his autobiography, “Even if I could conceive that I had completely overcome [my pride], I should probably be proud of my humility.”
— Arthur C. Brooks, “Why Humility Is the Key to Well-Being”, The Atlantic, 17 October 2024
We currently conduct a full worship service on the first Sunday of each month, and discuss a different short reading each of the remaining Sundays.
On Sunday, 15 December, we will open with a very brief service and chalice lighting, after which Robert Helfer will moderate our discussion. This week’s reading is Arthur C. Brooks’ October 2024 essay commemorating the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, “Why Humility Is the Key to Well-Being”, The Atlantic, 17 October 2024.
A gift copy of “Why Humility Is the Key to Well-Being” can be found here. No subscription is needed to read this copy.
All are welcome to participate.
