Ron Boyd — Indigenous Peoples’ Day
October 8, 2023 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.
Leader — Bambi Gordon
Speaker — Ron Boyd
Title — Indigenous Peoples’ Day
Topic — In recent times we have seen a shift in our culture from the observance of Columbus Day moving towards changing to a recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
There is a story many of us have grown up which was fed to us from a culturally biased perspective. It is time for us to begin to examine the whole perspective beyond what we know, and to expand our own understanding.
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.
Join us downstairs after service for coffee and conversation.
