Following is this month’s schedule. Meditation practice is also listed, which occurs each week beginning at 9 a.m.
May 4
Meditation practice will be at 9 a.m., and the Sunday service will be at 10:30 a.m.
We will welcome Herb Grover to share his talk on “Threats to Biodiversity —Making It Personal,” after an unforeseen accident kept him from speaking in March.
Conservation biologists have been sounding the alarm for many years that, as a result of the global impact of the human endeavor, the biosphere is undergoing a sixth mass extinction event. The number of disappearing species, coupled with the decline in numbers of virtually all forms of wildlife, paint a picture that for some is overwhelming.
In this week’s talk, Grover, a retired university professor of ecology and environmental science, will bring the topic of threats to biodiversity home by reviewing the results of a bird monitoring project he helps coordinate through our local Weminuche Audubon Society, and through his personal efforts to observe, photograph and share with others the beauty of our surroundings.
His talk will also draw attention to the Unitarian Universalist seventh principle concerning the interconnectedness and interdependence of all living things through a discussion of whether there is a universal appreciation of beauty in nature and, if so, how this might promote more inclusive environmental stewardship.
