“The M's in Humanism” – Carl Serbell
‘Happy Humanism,’ while valuing rationality in helping us determine how to live a productive, compassionate, and creative life, appreciates mystery for many contributions to a full life. Birth, death, consciousness, and even love, are all great mysteries that deepen and extend our spiritual lives. We will explore the contributions that mysteries can make to our lives.
Featured musicians: Lisa Dahlgren and Carl Serbell, flutes; Beth Curtiss, songleader; David Nalesnik, piano.
Carl Serbell (he/him) is retired from a career in corporate training and is a life-long Unitarian who discovered his Humanist identity only recently. He and his wife Yvonne moved to St. Louis in 2016 from Connecticut, where they were active in The Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Westport.

Each of us has worth and dignity, and that worth includes our gender and our sexuality. As Unitarian Universalists, we not only open our doors to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, we value diversity of sexuality and gender and see it as a spiritual gift. We create inclusive religious communities and work for LGBTQ justice and equity as a core part of who we are. All of who you are is sacred. All of who you are is welcome.
