What do we UU’s know about faith anyway?  We don’t have a creed or a doctrine; so what exactly do we have faith in?  Do you need to have faith to have a spiritual practice?  Or a spiritual practice to have faith?  Parker J. Palmer writes: “the deeper our faith, the more doubt we must endure.”   Let’s talk about faith this Sunday and maybe a mention of why it might be helpful to have a spiritual practice.

Sociologists and psychologists are writing a lot these days about the causes of terrorism (especially religiously-motivated terrorism) and mass violence. What are the circumstances and feelings that drive individuals and groups to plot damage on others?  Anger is a complex emotion that developed out of our primitive aggressive and defensive impulses as animals.  Almost everyone has had the experience of being angry and later wishing they could have controlled their reactions better.

Is anger ever “righteous” and justified?  How do we reconcile anger with the need to regulate how we react to injustice, whether we perceive it as personal or national? What do we know about the way we handle our own anger, and what can that teach us about those who act out their hurts on a larger public scale?
