Next Sunday, March 14, Howard Brody -- “The Best Way To Do Health Reform”
Enjoy a review of a prototype for thoughtful public debate about health reform - the Oregon Health Decisions movement of the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. Our speaker will suggest that we have missed a major opportunity to engage the public in a sensible discussion of health reform options, and, as a result, we are today far too easily stampeded by scare claims about health care “rationing” and “death panels.” The session is planned to promote active discussion and dialogue. Howard Brody is Director of the Institute for the Medical Humanities at UTMB.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Special Collection for
March:
Our March special
collection on
Sunday, March 14,
will be for the
"What Moves Us Program".
What Moves Us is a
program that explores
the life experiences of
both historic and
contemporary Unitarian
Universalist
theologians,
highlighting that which
caused in them a change
of heart, a new
direction, new hope, and
a deeper understanding
of their own liberal
faith. This program
offers a chance for
participants to engage
with and bring their
personal experiences to
bear upon the very
questions explored by
each theologian in turn.
It offers not only a
pathway for development
of one’s own personal
theology, but a deep
understanding of many of
the threads of our
Unitarian, Universalist,
and Unitarian
Universalist theological
heritage.
