Attorney Stephen Black will address the Fairhope Unitarian Fellowship on Sunday. His topic will be “The Future of Moral Progress in Alabama.”
Black will discuss possible ways to engender civic engagement and commitment to moral progress. He will include thoughts on the role that communities of faith can have in such efforts.
Black studied American history at the University of Pennsylvania. He graduated magna cum laude in 1993, then graduated in 1997 from Yale Law School. He was policy adviser to the governor of Alabama and practices law in Birmingham. He is on the boards of the Alabama Civil Justice Foundation, Voices for Alabama’s Children and the Alabama Poverty Project. In 2005, he was appointed to the University of Alabama faculty as a senior lecturer in communicative ethics and asked to create and then direct a new Center for Ethics and Social Responsibility. He is the grandson of the late Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black.
The Unitarian Fellowship meets each Sunday morning from 11 a.m. to noon. The Children’s Fellowship meets at the same time, and an adult discussion group at 10. The fellowship is at 1150 Fairhope Ave., across from the Fairhope Satellite Courthouse.
