Popular guest speaker Bart Campolo, Humanist chaplain and former prominent Evangelical leader/organizer, returns to UU Santa Monica for this Sunday's 10:00 am service: 

 

"Most religions have plenty of injunctions about forgiveness, and many threaten dire consequences for those of us who fail to heed them, but very few offer a clear definition of what forgiveness actually involves, let alone step by step instructions about how to do it.  For secularists, the problem runs at least one step deeper, to the question of whether forgiveness is always the best way to handle a grievance, and if so, why.  Join Bart Campolo, the humanist chaplain at USC and a certified expert in mistake-making, as he takes on the business end of forgiving each other and ourselves."
