This week Around the Meetinghouse - mailchi.mp/50b49494d55c/this-week-around-the-meetinghouse
May is Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month – a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. The month of May was chosen to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the United States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. The majority of the workers who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants. You are a loved and important part of our #BelovedCommunity! ![]()

A recent study points to poor land management policies like forest degradation as well as deforestation as causes.
With the religious right’s influence in Congress, and with the threat to our judiciary looming large, there has never been as important a moment in which to affirm our commitment to the constitutional separation of religion and government, and to celebrate reason as the guiding principle of our secular #democracy. ![]()

[alt text: Yellow graphics with two displays. Text: What's the difference? Thursday May 6th. National Day of Reason promotes respect for the separation of religion and government and stands against the intrusion of religious ideology into all spheres of our government. National Day of Prayer violates the First Amendment of the US Constitution because it asks government entities to set aside tax dollar supported time and space to engage in religious ceremonies.]![]()
