[Hac-announce] Discussion of Historical Texts

[phungis at comcast.net]

Some among the CT Humanists might be interested in a discussion I will be coordinating on Sunday January 9th at 12:45 at 700 Hartford Turnpike in Hamden (USNH). 




Cosmologies of The Choir Invisible 

Join P.J. Deak on January 9 th to discuss the writings of four historic Unitarians and Universalists – Joseph Priestly, Theodore Parker, Samuel Joseph May and P.T. Barnum – and their relationship to contemporary UU & Humanist beliefs. No experience or expertise necessary. Bring your own opinions, assumptions, understandings and questions for a rousing discourse on the past and present of liberal cosmology. 



Excerpts from the following texts will be used to spark discussion: 

Disquisitions Relating to Matter and Spirit by Joseph Priestly (1778) 

The Transient and The Permanent in Christianity by Theodore Parker (1841) 

What Do Unitarians Believe ? by Samuel Joseph May (1867) 

Why I Am A Universalist by Phineas Taylor Barnum (1896) 




Excerpts from the texts are available for free in PDF form at:
