Applied hope, with applied love for place, will answer the questions of how we sustain ourselves. Renewable energy choices and knowing how to answer the question: “How much is enough?” is the immediate problem. This is the second of our 2008-09 series on ethics. The first service in the series focused on economics. A later program will focus on politics.

What roles do we play in life in which we are in a position of power? How can we wield power ethically either as individuals (parents, employers, supervisors, professionals) or as a nation or even a superpower? After service there will be Crosstalk in the sanctuary—an opportunity to explore over coffee hour the varied and individual responses to the ideas raised during the service. This will be the third in this year’s series on ethics, following services on the ethics of greed and the ethics of energy. Speaker, Mike Walleri. Lay leader, Cam Leonard. Accompanist, Laurel Holmes.
