Dr. Robert Wicks.

One of the greatest gifts we can share with others is a sense of our own peace. However, we can’t share what we don’t have. Dr. Wicks, an expert on the prevention of secondary stress (the pressures experienced in reaching out to others), will offer insights into how we can live in peace and, in turn, extend our warmth to others without losing our own inner fire in the process.

Dr. Robert Wicks has spoken on resilience, self-care, and the prevention of secondary stress in venues ranging from universities to Capitol Hill, the UK and Beirut. He has published over 60 books, including most recently The Simple Care of a Hopeful Heart: Mentoring Yourself in Difficult Times.

Rev. Dave Hunter.

With recent plans of Louisiana to post the Ten Commandments in all classrooms in the state, and similar attempts in other parts of the country, the line between church and state in the US is being tested. Setting aside the First Amendment issue, how do we think of such plans to incorporate religious values into secular education, and the overlap of religious, moral, and political values?

Rev. Dave Hunter is a mostly retired UU minister and a retired voting rights lawyer, who served in the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division for 25 years. Dave is a graduate of Princeton University, Harvard Law School, and Wesley Theological Seminary. Dave and his wife, Rev. Kerry Mueller, live at White Horse Village.
