Speakers: Jake Michel & Kathy Beatty

Why is it that songs of sadness and heartbreak have always been so popular? What is it about human nature that makes us drawn to hearing tales of suffering? In certain respects, dealing with suffering is a foundational element of Buddhism, which clearly is valued by it 520 million followers worldwide. For our August 18th service UCWC members, Jake Michel and Kathy Beatty, will consider suffering through an exploration of the music of 1960s Motown and the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism, two very different cultural elements that both rather converge when it come to how to address suffering. Come and sing along!
