Wondering Aloud
Our Sunday services explore insights from world religion, philosophy, and earth-based spiritual traditions. We are a warm and open, member-led community, whose small size fosters connectedness. We grow vegetables and imagination.

The First Unitarian Universalist Society of New Haven has provided a home for liberal religion since 1836. Our member-led services are held at our meetinghouse Sundays at 10:30 am. Our meetinghouse is located at 608 Whitney Avenue in the Whitney Avenue Historic District of New Haven, 1.3 miles north of the New Haven Green and about one-half mile south of the town of Hamden. You can also join our services using Zoom web conferencing.
Please join us for coffee and refreshments after the service.

May 25: Glamour Industry, Nerd Heaven: What I've Learned from Thirty-plus Years in Publishing
      Does the future of publishing lie in its past? It's a storied past, yet very modern. I will touch on Cicero, a great "publican" who used slaves to transcribe his copious works; the Western canon and "liberal" education, which may or may not be what you think it is; writing and left-brain thinking; scholars in the digital age; publishing programs that cover decades or centuries; "new" media and what I call the New Renaissance; favorite books I've worked on; what I've learned (or think I've learned) about history from publishing.  Coordinated by Anne Cherry
