SUMMARY:Special Class: Introduction To World Religions
DESCRIPTION:MUCC is honored to welcome retired professor Dr. Sharon Miller to teach an intro course on World Religions. This intro course will be followed by many more deeper dives into the world’s religions over the course of the next year. \nThe first class on April 21st will focus on what religion is\, the role religion plays in society\, and ask the question – does religion need a god? The second class on April 28th will look at the differences between cults\, sects\, denominations\, and how culture shapes faith. \nHere is a bit about Sharon and her approach to the courses: \n“I am pleased to be joining you as an instructor for a series of classes on world religions and the role religion plays in people’s lives. To kick off the series\, this spring I will be offering two introductory classes and in the fall we will dive into studying Islam\, followed by Hinduism\, Jains\, Sikhs\, Buddhism\, etc. \nI come to this subject with both an academic and a deep personal love and experience\, having grown up in the Indian subcontinent\, surrounded by a multitude of faiths. I have a Ph.D. in sociology of religion from the University of Notre Dame as well as a M.Div. Seven years ago\, I retired from academia to move to the NW to be closer to family. Teaching will always be my first love!” \nZoom link here \n\n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 849 7126 5985\nPasscode: 287760

SUMMARY:Learning Forum: Why Trust is Essential to Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the world\, democratic institutions and norms are eroding. Why? At the core of this breakdown\, argues political scientist Dr. Jacob S. Lewis\, is a deeper crisis of trust. Trust\, which builds slowly\, can be destroyed quickly—and is very hard to resurrect. In this talk\, discover the “three verbs” of trust: bonding\, bridging\, and breaking\, and get a foundational overview of how trust operates within democratic societies. How can we work to rebuild trust together and create a stronger democratic future? \nOur speaker will be Jacob S. Lewis\, an associate professor in the School of Politics\, Philosophy\, and Public Affairs at Washington State University. His research focuses on the relationship between trust\, conflict\, and democracy. His work has been published in the Journal of Peace Research\, Political Behavior\, Political Psychology\, Political Geography\, Social Movement Studies\, the Journal of Conflict Resolution\, and more.   \nThis talk is underwritten by a grant from Humanities of Washington and presented in partnership with The Thomas S. Foley Institute for Public Policy and Public Service and will require preregistration. \nPre-register here. \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the learning forum zoom meeting. \nPlan to attend!

SUMMARY:Learning Forum: Power and Politics in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:Shouldn’t the public have a say in how AI is changing our lives? AI is marketed as a life-changing innovation made by brilliant experts and the companies they work for. Yet as the people most affected by AI tools\, we have almost no say in designing\, developing\, or deploying them. In this talk\, explore the ways that AI companies are shutting people out of their creation\, stifling competition\, threatening jobs\, and shaking up society. The speaker will be Onur Bakiner\, a professor and director of the Technology Ethics Initiative at Seattle University.  Register here. \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the learning forum zoom meeting. \nPlan to attend!

SUMMARY:Women’s Underwear Drive and Potluck for All
DESCRIPTION:Underwear shoppers\, take note: It’s time for our annual collection of women’s underpants\, bras and socks; please put February 22 on your calendar and plan to attend this fun potluck. \nWe will gather BRAND-NEW items with tags still on for the women of Mary’s Place and Interbay Tiny Cabins Village. After sorting and counting items\, Lindsay Butler and Diane Wheeler will deliver them to the appropriate locations. \nPlease leave the tags on the items because it makes it easier for volunteers and staff to distribute the items by size. All sizes are welcome\, although larger sizes in bras and underpants are in more demand (perhaps because they are more expensive?).  Please purchase styles women would wear while job-hunting\, working\, or caring for their families. \nThis “gathering” of both items and people will be Sunday\, February 22\, immediately after coffee hour after the service up in the Fireside Room (11:30ish). There will be “quick” goodies and coffee available for those who can’t stay for lunch. \nThe Scouts will be participating again this year\, bringing their youthful energy and high productivity! \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Lindsay Butler (number in the directory).  If you are unable to attend the potluck\, but want to donate\, please contact the office for hours when it is open to receive drop-offs at contact@magnoliaucc.org\, or bring them to the Sunday services prior to or on Feb. 22. \nDiane and Lindsay can help with your shopping\, if you like. If you prefer to write a check\, please write it to MUCC and put “Mary’s Place” in the notes section; later in the month\, one check will be cut and mailed to Mary’s Place. This project has been a part of our church community for 16 years. Thank you!
