Please join us for “The Art of Civilized Conversation,” an in-person service or Virtual service via Zoom at www.uuctc.org/sunday at 10:30am.  Our Order of Service is available at www.uuctc.org/oos. [Rev. Jennie preaching] This sermon will be inspired by, The Art of Civilized Conversation, by Margaret Shepherd and Sharon Hogan. They assert that conversation that is mutually attentive can change the quality of a person’s day for the better. And in Sherry Turkle’s, Reclaiming Conversation – The Power of Talk in a Digital Age, she states that: “replacing face-to-face communication with smart phones is diminishing people’s capacity for empathy.” Caring conversations can change the world for the better.
