Ron Boyd — Does Democracy Survive?

Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.

No Children’s RE today, but children are always welcome to stay upstairs with their parent(s) during any service.

Leader — Hayley Young

Speaker — Ron Boyd

Title — Does Democracy Survive?

Topic — Our 5th principle is: The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large. In recent times it seems we have come very close to losing our national democracy, and we must remain ever vigilant in ensuring that it continues to endure. We’ll examine in greater depth issues surrounding this vital issue.

Bio — In 2016 Ron founded his organization Mystic Spirit Presentations which serves to inform, educate, and inspire interested parties throughout Ohio and beyond. He is the past president of Merging Hearts Spiritual Center in Canton Ohio, where he led numerous programs on topics pertaining to spiritual growth, religious education, and environmental education.

Ron attended and served his local UU congregation for over 20 years, a twice past president of his local congregation, and has spoken for numerous UU congregations and religious organizations over the years. He speaks on a variety of topics, drawing from a diverse range of sources. He is a strong advocate for finding solutions for our current environmental issues, and sees this as one of the most critical moral issues we are facing in our time.

Ron sees our values as UU’s lead us into a wider circle that eventually expands to include the entire planet. We do not seek to make others believe exactly like us but rather to become more inclusive in our diversity and acceptance, with the goal of a world community united in the bond of love.
