THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT CIRCLE IS BOTH A TASK FORCE AND A VIEW OF HUMAN NATURE. WE CHALLENGE THE COMMON BELIEF IN RUGGED INDIVIDUALISM AND SELFISHNESS, AND THE ISOLATIONIST VIEW OF THE HUMAN HEART. OUR SOCIETY TEACHES THAT IT IS APPROPRIATE TO REJOICE AND COMPLETE THINGS ALONE; ALSO THAT WE ARE WEAK WHEN WE NEED TO ASK FOR HELP. BUT WE ARE A GROUP THAT ASSERTS AND GIVES SOME LIFE TO THE FUNDAMENTAL INTERCONNECTION AND INTERDEPENDENCE OF PEOPLE. OUR VIEW OF HUMAN NATURE IS THAT PEOPLE ARE NATURALLY CARING TOWARDS EACH OTHER, WHEN THE RULES OF SOCIETY ARE NOT SET UP TO REWARD DEALING WITH PEOPLE AS COMMODITIES TO BE BARTERED IN THE MARKET PLACE.
IN ITS SIMPLEST FORM, THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT CIRCLE’S MISSION IS TO BE OF HELP TO ONE ANOTHER. WE SEEK TO REMEDY NEED, MAKE REAL AND PALPABLE OUR CONNECTION, AND FIND THE JOY IN GIVING. WE FIND THAT ALIENATION WITHERS FOR BOTH SIDES IN THE GIVING PROCESS, AND MEANING RIPENS, WHEN HELP OF ANY KIND IS GIVEN IN A SUPPORTIVE, CARING WAY.
The Orange County Interfaith Coalition for the Environment educates, raises awareness, and empowers people to actively protect and preserve creation through responsible stewardship.

Mark Matousek presents Ethical Wisdom for the Gay Soul: What to do with Animal Self
What standards, boundaries, choices of conduct do we enforce, or aspire to, in our off hours? The challenge of how to make ethical choices when the animal self is dominant remains murky. How we navigate these
decisions defines our quality of life. Mark Matousek, memoirist, teacher, and author of Ethical Wisdom: Searching for a Moral Life, will delve into these questions and then open the floor for discussion (90 minutes).

Stanley Kubrick's quiet masterpiece probes the mysteries of space and human destiny.
While investigating the appearance of mysterious monoliths throughout the universe, astronauts David (Keir Dullea) and Frank (Gary Lockwood) battle their ship's intelligent computer, HAL-9000. This epic sci-fi drama

Leader Dr. Anne Klaeysen will host a discussion on The House of Widsom: How Arabic Science Saved Ancient Knowledge and Gave Us the Renaisance, by Jim Al-Khalili..
Many of the innovations that we think of as hallmarks of Western science had their roots in the Arab world of the middle ages, a period when much of Western Christendom lay in intellectual darkness. Jim al- Khalili,
a leading British-Iraqi physicist, resurrects this lost chapter of history, and given current East-West tensions, his book could not be timelier. With transporting detail, al-Khalili places readers in the hothouses of the
Arabic Enlightenment, shows how they led to Europe's cultural awakening, and poses the question: Why did the Islamic world enter its own dark age after such a dazzling flowering?

Showing Forgiving Dr. Mengele, (2006) directed by Bob Hercules and Cheri Pugh.
During the Holocaust, Eva Mozes Kor and her twin sister, Miriam, were selected for a series of horrifying genetic experiments at the hands of the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele. Ironically, because of these
experiments, the girls were able to survive Auschwitz; much of their family did not. In this documentary, Kor returns to Auschwitz on a quest to heal her wounds with an astonishing and controversial act of
forgiveness.

Ken Harrison lies in a hospital bed, able to move only his head, from side to side. A sculptor, whose hands have been both his living and his life, Ken chafes at his imprisonment in a frozen body, but still more
against a medical establishment that infantilizes and patronizes him. With the only weapons at his command—fierce intelligence and mordant humor—he battles for the right to be fully human and decide his own fate.
But is he really capable of making that decision? Might acceptance, impossible to envision now, come with time? These are difficult questions that Brian Clark and his characters confront head-on.
Susan Horowitz directs. Cast: Bonnie Bean, Jerry Chamlin, Ken Gans, Dan Hanson, David Lee, Vince Navarro, Terry Perlin, John Gurney, Natalie Kropf, Antonio Pagliarulo, Jamie Scott, Elizabeth Ungar and Tom
Weishaar, with Carole Chamlin as narrator.
