You’ve Gotta Have Faith (or Do You?); Rev. Chris Buice
Mark Twain once made the irreverent observation that “Faith is believing in what you know ain’t so.” If this were true, then most Unitarian Universalists would be uncomfortable describing themselves as people of faith. Fortunately there are other definitions. This Sunday we will explore the possibility of an alternative to Twain’s dismissive theory, the idea that we’ve got to have faith even if we are in denial about it. This Sunday we will take a good look at the unexamined assumptions that underlie our beliefs that make life worth living. We will also be welcoming our newest members to the church to the faith.

Taking Knox County Schools From Good to Great: Why Private Sector Involvement is Essential
Our guest this week is Buzz Thomas, President of the Great Schools Partnership, a free-standing non-profit that seeks to be “a catalyst, think tank, incubator and start-up funder for making Knox County Schools globally competitive.” A recent talk by Mr. Thomas did indeed catalyze an emerging initiative to “Support Our Schools,” led by TVUUCers Ginna Mashburn, Jamey Dobbs, Tammy Sommers, and others. Buzz will discuss why the role of the private sector is essential in creating great schools, for “government” cannot get there alone.
