From Darwin to Unitarian Universalism
from Sermons-First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco · host First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco
"From Darwin to Unitarian Universalism" (February 16, 2020) Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection set into motion a way of thinking that has profoundly affected not only the understanding of biology but also influenced a much wider range of human concerns, including religion. This is most evident in Unitarian Universalism. We will trace how this came about and reflect on how this way of thinking can lead to greater fulfillment of life’s potentials. Jim Barnett has been a UU for 45 years. He is retired from his career in biomedical research, a graduate of the Humanist Institute and currently the chair of the Humanists and Non-Theists committee at UUSF. Jim Barnett, Worship Leader Carmen Barsody, Worship Associate Dolores Perez Heilbron, Worship Associate Dr. Mark Sumner, music director Reiko Oda Lane, organ and bell choir director Eric Shackleford, Trustee Sharon Weld, camera Jonathan Silk, OOS, Sound, Podcasting, Video Edits
