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.

Song: Simple Gifts
‘Tis the gift to be simple, ’tis the gift to be free,
‘Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
Will be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend, we shan’t be ashamed,
To turn, turn, will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right

Yoga teaches us to be “in the moment” and provides us with a tranquil, non-judgmental place where we can begin to transform.
