IN-PERSON and streaming to ZOOM. Timothy Travis is a long-time member of the UUCB Humanist Connection group that meets weekly to discuss and share viewpoints on morality, ethics, human development, the nature of the universe and so much more. For Timothy, HUMANISM is the focus of his life and his talk will have you nodding your head as he passionately reminds us “We are all in this life together.” He will be presenting in-person. Masking is required in the Fireside Room. 

Note From Timothy

I first learned of UU in the 60’s, while in the Air Force and Electronics Officer’s School in Biloxi, Mississippi. A classmate and his wife invited me to a Sunday service. That was the first time I had heard of UU.

The service was in a modest building that was built as a house up on high pilings back in a bayou –super atmospheric! The guest speaker that morning was a young man who had recently graduated from Rabbinical school. We sat in a circle, he told us of his schooling and what it was like being a young Rabbi and we all talked. Having grown up Methodist, this was a revelation, a new way to “do Church”! I was hooked and have been UU active ever since.

I formed a group in the early 2000’s called the UU Infidels when I lived in Fredericksburg, VA. We had a booth and did a workshop at the 2004 UU General Assembly in Long Beach, CA. Loads of stories from that activity, one involving an in-person encounter with Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia that was picked up by the press.
My first attending UUCB was while living in Berkeley in the early 70’s.

We acknowledge that this church occupies land in Huchiun in the unceded territory of the Chochenyo-speaking Ohlone people.  May we have the humility and courage to do our part to restore what has been broken and the wisdom to live into a new solidarity with Indigenous communities and the earth.
