ABOUT THIS EVENT

This is a Unitarian Universalist Church of Ventura (UUCV) event. It is not affiliated with the Humanist Community of Ventura County, though our members often attend.

Participants discuss assigned readings on the nature of social ethics, which would advance human welfare, and on scientific methodology as the source of provisional truth about the universe and its denizens. Analytic thinking, rather than recall, is the modus operandi.

One can enter the seminar at any time. The only expense is the purchase of assigned books from time to time. You do not need to be a church member.
