On a small scale, reciprocal cooperation between two individuals (for example, keeping track of who picks up the check when you and a friend dine out) is fairly straightforward. When you scale up that dynamic to include a circle of friends, a classroom, a university campus, etc., things get murikier. For instance, who deserves being helped?

— Jake Currie, “How We Decide Who Deserves Our Help: Cooperation is a double-edged sword”

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.

At 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, 20 September, we will open with a very brief service and chalice lighting, followed by our discussion. Robert Helfer will lead the service and discussion. This week’s reading is “How We Decide Who Deserves Our Help: Cooperation is a double-edged sword”, by Jake Currie, Nautilus, 26 August 2026.
