Aaron Guest: “Ethics, Eugenics and Public Education”

Historian and educator Aaron Guest talks about confronting historical facts and teaching the truth about them. Visitors and guests are always welcome to our Sunday services.

Sunday services begin at 11 a.m. at Grace Fellowship Hall. We’re at 8827 Heiferhorn Way, on the banks of Heiferhorn Creek. Join us before the service for conversation. Come a little early for coffee and conversation.

Aaron Guest

Aaron Guest has taught social studies and history at Spencer High School for nine years. He earned degrees in history and secondary education from Columbus State University. His graduate studies in history focused on the effects of eugenics legislation in Georgia, concentrating on race, ethnicity and society. His research interests include the history of eugenics, African diaspora studies, and social demography.

Our services usually feature a speaker—a member of the Fellowship or a guest—who offers a presentation aligned with the Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism. Services also include music, readings, meditation and a chance to share your own thoughts.

We are truly non-denominational. Our unofficial motto: “deeds before creeds.” As individuals, we do have beliefs, but we don’t share a specific creed. Our members subscribe to a range of religious, philosophical and ethical traditions, but they we are tied together by a respect for all people and for our planet.

Pandemic measures

  • Masks are optional, HOWEVER…
  • During Sunday services, we reserve a mask-only space for those who wish to wear them.
  • Please respect social distancing.
  • We urge everyone to be fully vaccinated and boosted—not just to protect themselves but to protect others.
  • If you are not vaccinated, please wear a mask.
  • Speakers, service leaders and members of the choir don’t wear masks but they are even more socially distant. 
  • Guests are welcome, but please follow our pandemic guidelines.
