The heartfelt eloquence of his music has made composer David Lanz one of contemporary music’s most popular and admired "New Age" instrumentalists. Lanz, a native of the Pacific Northwest, has recorded as a solo pianist, as part of an acoustic trio, as a member of a pop-rock ensemble, and in the company of a renowned European orchestra. The centerpiece of all his work remains the piano, which Lanz has described as “the most divinely inspired instrument on the planet."

December 10, 2022, is the 74th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations. The document is associated with Eleanor Roosevelt because she championed it, though it was drafted by a Canadian, John Humphrey. In this Sunday service, philosopher Cliff DuRand will discuss the record of the United States as an upholder of economic and political rights declared in that historic document.
In the United States its provisions on political rights are often celebrated. And our institutions and leaders have a good record in upholding them. But its provisions for economic rights are widely ignored because the United States does not observe them. For example, it declares that “everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services.”
“We fall far short on this count,” DuRand asserts, “even while most American citizens believe everyone should have those rights our economic system doesn’t allow for them.”
A resident of San Miguel, DuRand is a founder of the Center for Global Justice. A civil rights activist in the 1960s, DuRand taught for 40 years at historically Black Morgan State University in Baltimore. As a free thinker, he has been sensitive to the exercise of free speech and the right to dissent. As an advocate of social justice, he has championed the downtrodden. He is alarmed at the current era’s erosion of human rights at the hands of government and powerful corporations, both threatening human liberty in new ways.

Topic: HEROISM
HEROISM is defined by Webster as conduct fulfilling a high purpose or attaining a noble end. Heroes don't always have to face danger or save lives.
Think of examples of heroes or heroines you've personally known or learned about. What quality did they exhibit that was admirable? What drove them to achieve the noble end result? Have you ever been someone's hero?
