To Accept the Past: Gifts from my Grandmothers
@ 9:30am & 11:15am
Guest, Ian W. Riddell
We carry with us the lives and dreams of those who have come before, their stories--stories of joy and pain, love and fear--are part of our personal and collective stories. How do they nurture us? How do they challenge us?

Ian W. Riddell is in his final year at Meadville Lombard Theological School in Chicago. Formerly the Director of Music Ministry at James Reeb Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Madison, last year he served as the Intern Minister at the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Monterey Peninsula in Carmel, California.

SUNDAY MORNING FORUM
9:30am - Founders Room.  Science Sunday will welcome Dr. Mike McCormick from Hamilton College in New York State. He and his family are visiting at DUUC this year while he is on sabbatical at Argonne Laboratory. Mike is traveling soon to Antarctica on a research project that he will introduce us to. His research interests lie broadly in geomicrobiology and environmental chemistry. He will discuss the importance of some of his recent work. He has studied:
1. Iron respiring bacteria and their role in cleaning up soil contaminants
2. Using bacteria to generate electricity - an introduction to microbial fuel cells
3. Microbial life under an Antarctic ice shelf.
