Finding Meaning and Purpose from a Science Based Perspective.
Are you using the three broad area of activities to gain meaning and purpose?
1. self reflection
2. community bonds and community belonging
3. serving others
 

UUs do a great job in these 3 areas but we could do more especially in interfaith activities.
