Meditation and planning gathering.
Sunday, October 28, the service will be Part 1 of Morality Made Simple But Not Easy.
Your Morals is an academic research website on morality, run by a group of social psychologists, the best known of whom is Jonathan Haidt, who wrote The Righteous Mind: How Religion and Politics Unite and Divide Us
Everyone is invited to take the Moral Foundations Questionnaire there before the service Sunday. It will give you some insights and give you a starting place to think about how you decide what is moral (and contribute to research). You won’t be asked to share your results.

Pack up the babies, and grab the old ladies, and everyone goes…
Hot August night and the leaves hanging down
And the grass on the ground smellin’ sweet
Move up the road to the outside of town
And the sound of that good gospel beat
Sits a ragged tent where there ain’t no trees
And that gospel group tellin’ you and me
It’s Love, Brother Love, say Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show
An old-time UU gathering – see the coffee tent?
Gather with UUs from Athens, Beckley, Charleston, Huntington, Marietta, West Fork and Morgantown for fun and fellowship and a tent revival Sunday service on the Power of Universal Love. Friends and family are welcome.
