Unitarianism and Antioch College
Speaker: Scott Sanders

One hundred-seventy-six-year-old Antioch College, a small yet famous liberal arts institution in southwest Ohio, owes a debt to the Unitarian-Universalist Association: Over a span of about seventy years, the then UA saved Antioch from itself on at least three separate occasions. In return, Antiochians (as the College’s alumni are known) helped lead the transformation of “U”s to “UU”s in the 1950s.It is an inspiring story of benevolence, brinksmanship, and blind luck.

Dios de los Muertos
Speaker: David Brown

Is there any way we can know what happens after death? Many indigenous peoples thought the aurora borealis was campfires of those who had departed, and the Mexican holiday of Dios de los Muertos honors those who have passed. Please bring a photo or memorabilia of someone you love who has died.
