Frank and Alice Schulman will be in Alaska for 6 weeks beginning September 1. Dr. Schulman will be the 
	minister at the Fairbanks, Alaska, Fellowship during this time. We wish them well. We will meet on our regular dates in 
	September and have scheduled two outstanding speakers from the Houston area to be our presenters. 
	
	
 Sun. Sept 14: Ross Henry, Humanist minister and President of the Isaac Asimov Chapter 
	of the Humanities of Montgomery County, will present "The Humanist Perspective on Religion." Ross Henry 
	serves as the only Humanist minister in the Houston area and he is one of only four in the state of Texas. He has 
	been active in promoting tolerance among sectarian religions as well as with secular religious organizations such as the 
	American Humanist Association.
	
 The Reverent Ross Hamilton Henry investigates a hypothetical scenario whereby he is able to submit 
	some of the questions that have vexed humanity down through the ages to a huge convocation of the gods. For 
	example 
 1. How can we begin to eliminate the harmful sectarian elitist tenets left over from the dark ages that 
	some religions still hold as sacred religious truths? Even in our own age certain religions have the idea that they and 
	they alone possess the only legitimate path to truth. They assert, as gospel, that all those who reject their 'truth' are 
	evil and will be tortured throughout eternity, after death, by their supreme being.
	
 2. How can we build a more universally inclusive religion for our planetary citizenry so that they will 
	feel a sense of membership in the global human family and cease killing each other over minor differences in politics 
	and religion?
	
 Sun. Sept 28: Karen McGee, psychotherapist in private and trainer at the Jung Center 
	in Houston will present "The Vision of Carl Jung."
 Looking Ahead: 
	 
 On Sunday, October 26, exactly 450 years after Servetus was sentenced to his 
	death for heresy, Dr. Schulman will preach on "Servetus' Real Discovery." 
	
Ancient Reading: Luke 6: 27-38
	
Modern Reading: The Sentencing of Servetus, by the Syndics 
	[Judges] of Geneva, October 26, 1553.
