August 13, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "Alternatives to War”
Anna Caite Caperton will address the issue of war. “Is war obsolete as a means of solving International conflict? Can conflict be managed without violence?” she asks.
Drawing from "A Global Security System: An Alternative to War" and other sources, Caperton will present a case for how humanity just might be able to create a global Peace system and evidence that it may already be in the works.
Anna Caite Caperton is a resident of Silver City. She has taught creative drama all over the US to teens and younger kids for about 30 years and she also teaches public speaking. She is not associated with any military organizations, but she finds the subject of alternatives to war very compelling. She is an affiliate of the organization World Beyond War.
Childcare is available on second and fourth Sundays. Parents are invited to bring children 3-12 years old to play and participate in activities led by 10th grader Ivy Stephens-Etheridge.

UUFSC Welcomes Children The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Silver City received a Chalice Lighters grant from the Mountain Desert District last spring to grow the Fellowship’s biweekly children’s program. UUFSC was awarded a matching grant of $4,125 to offset costs associated with compensation for staff, educational and promotional materials, and supplies for lessons related to social justice and Unitarian Universalist principles.
After a break during the pandemic, UUFSC’s board of directors voted to resume their in-person Children’s Religious Education/Family Program in June 2022. They have since been working to grow the program to serve more children 3-12 years old and their families. Currently an average of 5 children regularly attends the program, which is offered twice monthly on the second and fourth Sundays from 10:00 am-11:00 am. Gay Hedges coordinates the program, and Ivy Stephens-Etheridge provides childcare. Ivy is a tenth grader and former UUFSC CRE participant.
