Upcoming Worships
January 11 THE AFRICAN PRESENCE IN THE BIBLE: NO AFRICA, NO BIBLE?
Several African-American scholars worked diligently over the years to recover the Bible's wealth of information
about Africa, and particularly about Egypt. Emily will share with us the information she gleaned - to present the
story of a continent with thriving cities and a social code which welcomed strangers in need. In addition, she will
speak about the Bible's "Black" heroes and address the phenomenon of intermarriage resulting in the possibility
that Jesus himself was "Black." Emily Champagne was graduated from Starr King School for the Ministry and
served UU congregations in La Canada (near Los Angeles), the California Sierra Foothills, and Reno, NV. She
then returned to school, where received an M.A. degree in Biblical Languages from the Graduate Theological
Union in Berkeley and then completed the PhD class work at the Claremont Graduate University.

January 18 THE GOLDEN RULE
All around the world we see religion blamed for some of humanity's most horrendous crimes. In the name of religion,
violence is justified. And yet, all of the world's major religions teach us charity and compassion. Is religion abusing
humanity or is humanity abusing religion? Service by Rev. Susan Maginn.
