Harrisonburg UU

We are a lay-led, religious community offering a unique spiritual and moral witness in the Shenandoah Valley. We meet each Sunday in the historic Dale Enterprise School House. Most of our services have a community dialogue or "talk back" after the service. Each of our services is followed by coffee and refreshments in our "Community Cafe." Quite often the dialogue will carry over to the community cafe.

Beyond Capitalism

Rev. Robert T. Hughes, one of our regular guest ministers presented Beyond Capitalism on November 16th 2008

I appreciate all of our UU Principles. For many years now I’ve been particularly concerned with economic justice. I see our 2nd Principle – “We the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association covenant to affirm and promote: Justice, equity and compassion in human relations.” As I’ve mentioned before, I think one must have economic justice as well as legal justice in order for society to function well.

A question is, “how do we have a just society in regard to economics?” I think that our current economic challenges provide us an opportunity to reflect on that.

I’ve recently found helpful some of the work done by Rudolf Steiner and people who have drawn on his insights. I’d like to share some of that thinking and see if it might be helpful to you.
