The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will meet at the Tryon Youth Center on Rt. 176 N. on Sunday, Feb. 27 at 10:30 a.m.

The speaker will be Dr. Don Emon who will speak on the topic, “An Atheist Speaks on Ethics.”

“Christians believe that Jesus is a unique God and consistent with this belief, one should act ethically. Atheists believe that God doesn’t exist and consistent with living in a society, one should act ethically,” said Emon. These two approaches to ethics will be presented followed by a discussion.
