Art Kolbjornsen will speak on the topic "From Fundamentalism to Atheism" at the Upper Delaware Unitarian Universalist Fellowship on May 5th at 10:15 AM.
A gifted Biblical Scholar now teaching at the University of North Carolina has made significant contributions to critical scriptural study and has evolved in his faith understanding. That moving process was not based on the deficits of the "Word of God," but rather the notion of a living God active in a painful world.
The presentation will be held live during the Sunday morning service of the Upper Delaware Unitarian Universalist Fellowship on Sunday, May 12th 10:15 AM in the Narrowsburg Union, 7 Erie Ave., Room 102, Narrowsburg, NY 12764.

NARROWSBURG, NY AND ONLINE — A public health crisis has arisen from excessive use of single-use plastic by multiple industries around the world. Plastics and microplastics are now seemingly everywhere.
In remarks titled, "Plastic Is a Public Health Crisis — And What We Can Do About It" environmental advocate Rebekah Creshkoff will describe the threat created by over-manufacturing of non-biodegradable plastics.
She will speak at 10:15 a.m. service on Sunday, March 17, held by the Upper Delaware Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (UDUUF). For those attending in person, room 102 at the Narrowsburg Union, 7 Erie Ave., will open at 9:30 a.m. If connecting virtually, the Zoom room will open at about 10 a.m.
Rebekah is a volunteer speaker with Beyond Plastics, a nationwide, nonprofit project based at Bennington College, VT, that is working to end plastic pollution everywhere. She used to work in corporate communications.
Beyond Plastics was founded in 2019 by former EPA regional administrator Judith Enck (see beyondplastics.org/about).
In recent decades, multiple chronic health conditions and disorders — including autism, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and infertility, among others — have risen alarmingly. All have been linked to exposure to the thousands of chemicals that are used to make plastics. Rebekah will discuss the impact of the toxic chemicals lurking in items we use in our everyday lives, and review steps we can take to protect ourselves, our communities and the planet.
